Chalmers Automotive and Transport Academy
Chalmers Automotive and Transport Academy (CATA) is a joint organised interface between Chalmers and the automotive and transport industries, serving as a platform for contacts and forum of exchange between Chalmers and its industrial partners. This ensures a flow of ideas, knowledge and vision between education, research and industry and is mutually beneficial for all involved. CATA has three aims:
- To stimulate work integrated learning
- To establish future competency needs through interaction between Chalmers, industry and society
- To integrate higher education and work integrated learning
Maintaining close links with industry ensures that Chalmers can provide students with the opportunity to get involved with cutting-edge projects and apply the theory they have learnt to real-life engineering challenges. This can be project work carried out on site with an industrial partner in the form of a Master’s thesis or an internship. It can also be guest lecturers, experts in their fields, visiting Chalmers or alternatively students visiting companies for a short period to gain a better understanding of the industrial environment.
CATA is however not only about providing students at Chalmers with access to industry. It is equally about industry having access to the students and influencing the education that is undertaken. Chalmers works closely together with its industrial partners to design the Master’s programmes relevant to the Automotive and Transport sectors to ensure that the education will meet their future needs. It is also an access point from which current and relevant research can be viewed.
