Abstract(s)
Metrology, 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.
