In september 2006 a new group of first-year students enthusiasticly started studying at the faculty of Aerospace Engineering. One particular student had the habit of making notes of lectures and working them out on the computer. It took less than a week before this got known by the other students, who eagerly wanted the lecture notes. To prevent having to send a lot of files around, this student made a website and put his lecture notes on it. The Aerostudents website was born.
