FAQ

Can anybody join the team or do you have to be an engineer?

Everyone who is a student at Karlstad University can join. It is beneficial if you have taken relevant courses or have previous practical experience, but it’s not required. For example, in the marketing group, tasks include handling marketing and PR, finances, sponsor relations and more – so there’s plenty to do beyond engineering. The most important thing is that you have an interest and a willingness to learn!

How much time are you spending at CRR?

We have 15 mandatory hours a week. Usually it is 17:00–22:00 Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Do you have time for school work when you are a part of the team?

Yes! Although it is time consuming so you have to be good at managing your time.

What are you doing as a team member?

As a team member, you’ll be placed in one of our project groups, and your tasks will vary depending on which group you’re part of.

How and when do you apply to join the team?

The application process starts in the spring and continues until school starts! You can find all the information regarding this on our social media and website!

Why should I join the team?

First of all – it’s incredibly fun, and you’ll gain valuable experience from working in a real engineering project. You’ll learn a lot and develop skills that are highly attractive in the job market. You also get the chance to travel and compete at events across Europe during the summer!
