Automotive and Transportation Club

Become part of our vibrant community.

About Us

The automotive & transportation industry stands at a crossroad. From electrification to autonomy in urban scooters to intercontinental freight, the changes taking place over the next few decades will radically impact our everyday lives. The social, economic and political ramifications of these advances are areas of intense commercial and academic interest. The economic and societal value generated by driverless cars alone is expected to be worth $7 trillion by 2050. Through our connections to industry and professors at Columbia, our club aims to educate and create opportunities for CBS students to tackle these issues – to get to the heart of the questions surrounding job shifts, electrification's impact on traditional oil and gas the ownerless car economy's ripple effects throughout other industries, and the ethical & safety implications of surrendering our safe to to computer-guided AI systems. Whether you would like to pursue a career in the automotive & transportation space or are generally interested in this sector for intellectual curiosity, it's an exciting time to be a part of our Club.

Members Benefits

The club intends conduct at least 3 events per semester. Events will include speaker panels with in-school academics and advisors, similar to our Future of Aviation Panel last semester. We will invite speakers to discuss the latest trends and topics related to the industry to both educate our students and provide opportunities to network in the sector. We will host employers — including early stage startups and large corporations — to provide internship and full-time employment opportunities. We will also host social events to keep the community engaged in a fun way and to create an inclusive environment for those less interested in a professional career but yet have a more general interest in transportation.
