This paper presents the teaching and research activities carried out at the National University of Cordoba (UNC) on issues directly related to Gas Dynamics. Currently, this University offers three courses on thissubject: Gas Dynamics I, Gas Dynamics II and Advanced Gas Dynamics. The first two correspond to undergraduate studies, while the third to graduate studies. Gas Dynamics I is a required subject for all Aeronautical Engineering students at UNC, and represents the most advanced degree course within the area of Fluid Mechanics taught at theDepartment of Aeronautics. While Gas Dynamics II is an elective course that is only taken by students who are interested in deepening concepts in compressible flows. On the other hand, Advanced Gas Dynamics is a valid course for the Aerospace Master's Degree and the Doctorate in Engineering Sciences. In addition, the growth in activity at the UNC in recent years stands out, both in the number of professors trained in the area, as well as in the number of Undergraduate, Master and Doctoral Theses and in the number of research projects.
