Chalmer’s matrix organization with a buyer-supplier management model for education has proven to be a driving force for change and quality enhancement and promotes the agility necessary for implementing educational reforms in response to both internal and external impulses. We exemplify this by describing and analyzing development projects in curriculum design, education for sustainable development, entrepreneurship, and a new transformative model for flexible education.  \nKey words: Education Management, Engineering Curriculum, Institutional Change.  \nINTRODUCTION TO CHALMERS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY  \nAt Chalmers University of Technology (hereafter “Chalmers”), research and education in engineering, science, shipping, architecture and learning are conducted within our vision “Chalmers- For a sustainable future”. Chalmers has around 10,000 full-time students (BSc and MSc), 1,000 PhD-students and 3,000 employees of which approximately 2,000 are faculty [1] . Chalmers has been a private university since 1994, with the Chalmers University of Technology Foundation as sole owner. Operations are regulated in a long-term agreement with the Swedish state, supplemented with annual agreements covering the upcoming year. Education for students from countries in the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland is financed by the Swedish government while students joining Chalmers from other countries pay tuition fees.  \nADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION  \nChalmers University of Technology: Overcoming Resistance and Inertia in Education  \nThe Chalmers University of Technology Foundation manages the founding capital, and the return of the founding capital is used to fund strategic investments. Daily operations are covered by state funds, external research contracts and-to a smaller extent-tuition fees. The private ownership form-which is rare in the Swedish higher education system-gives the university the mandate to design its internal organization and support structures. In contrast to state universities which are led by governing bodies, Chalmers is governed through line management, meaning that it is led by individuals who are responsible for making decisions, supported by advisory bodies such as councils, committees and boards. The decision-making mandate is delegated top-down in “lines”, such as the department line organizing the faculty and the education organization, organizing the Educational Areas (Schools) and programs. Since 2005, Chalmers is organized as a matrix organization consisting of thirteen disciplinary departments organizing the faculty, a cross-departmental education management organization divided into five Educational Areas (Schools) responsible for managing and developing education programs, and seven interdisciplinary Areas of Advance as platforms for strategic and long-term research and innovation (Figure 1) . The education management organization is independent from  \nFigure 1.
