Responding to the fast-paced change which is taking place in both the aerospace industry and the education, and given the challenges associated with educating the future aerospace industry workforce, the paper attempts to translate needed future skills to the university classroom for the aerospace industrypersonnel. A synopsis of the current challenges faced in the educational field is outlined, followed by a mapping of the future of both education and air platforms, in an attempt to set the basis of the needed skills framework. Research undertaken by the Assessment and Teaching Of 21st Century Skills Project is used as a baseline for the definition of the future ‗critical‘ skill-set, which is considered well aligned with the future needs of the aerospace industry. Finally, a translation of this 'critical' skill-set to the classroom is proposed, based in redesigning existing learning approaches and activities, together with expected benefits
