- The Teaching of Metrology: The genesis and the epilogue of a degreePublication . Alberto, António Silveira D.P.; Lázaro Jacob, FredericoMetrology, as a measurement science and its applications, has a widely recognized importance in all areas of human activity where accurate measurements are required to ensure user confidence and universality. The emergence of new technologies, new methods, new products and new areas of development have definitively placed m etrology as a fundamental s cie nce in all areas of human activity. Associated with the reasons already mentioned, one cannot fail to mention the economic question of globalization that was only possible due to all the activities related to m etrology. As a scientific area, m etrology strengthens the development of measurement capabilities, and plays a key role in innovation, quality assurance of products and decision making. This work approaches the teaching of m etrology in Portugal in the first institution of higher education of the c ountry to offer in its training a bachelor s and a master s degree in Instrumentation and Metrology Engineering. So, this work analyses the past, the present and the future of this branch of engineering from the perspective of the first institution of high er education teaching it in Portugal. The solution to solve the gaps found was to diversify the offer of metrology training, but also to spread the importance of this science to students in other study cycles.
