Welcome to the KU Engineering Career Center web site!

Our goal is to provide all engineering students and interested alumni with information, resources, and opportunities to enhance their career development, as well as assist them in successfully connecting with employers or graduate/professional school programs, so they may confidently pursue their desired career goals.

Individual Appointments: Students often have questions or concerns about their particular situations that are not answered during group workshops or through our resources. Individual assistance is available to students at any phase of the career planning and job seeking process.
Workshops: Students are welcome to attend the various career related workshops offered every semester by the Engineering Career Center as well as most workshops offered by other campus career centers. A typical semester will include workshops on the basic job search tools such as resume writing, interviewing skills, networking, and etiquette plus some specialized topics.
Resources and tools to prepare for the next step in the career process: Students can access multiple resources through on-line links from our web site as well as in print format at 1001 Eaton Hall, (e.g. booklets, magazines, directories). Resources range from job search tools and graduate school materials to industry directories.
Career Fairs: Two annual Career Fairs focused on engineering and computer science students, usually held each September and February. All KU students and alumni are welcome to attend these events.
Job, Internship, and Research Postings: Many employers send vacancy notices of openings they have for internship, co-op, and permanent positions and these position listings are posted to our on-line Career Connections system. All KU School of Engineering students and alumni are welcome to view these postings at no charge.
On Campus Interviews: During the fall and spring semesters, employers visit campus to interview students for internship, co-op, and permanent positions. Registered students utilize our on-line Career Connections system to request and schedule interviews. There is a small one-time registration fee.
Resume Referrals: Employers often request resumes of students whose qualifications align with requirements of positions they have open. The resumes of registered students included in our Career Connections system that meet the employer's criteria, are forwarded on to the employer. There is a small one-time registration fee.
National job search assistance: Career Center staff can often assist students looking outside of this area through letters of reciprocity with other universities and a database of School of Engineering alumni.
