The University of Kansas (KU) School of Engineering expects and produces excellence. A number of our programs are nationally ranked and several large, interdisciplinary research groups have been nationally recognized. A National Science Foundation research center is led by our award-winning engineering faculty and offers students the chance to research issues of global significance with sophisticated new technologies. At KU, your opportunities are diverse and affordable, and numerous fellowships, scholarships, and assistantships are available.
See more about research and graduate programs, and meet some of the ambassadors.
Meet our Ambassadors
Learn what brought current graduate students to KU, how they fit into the School’s research and graduate programs, and what they recommend for students considering a graduate program at KU, through the Engineering Graduate Ambassadors profiled below.
Engineering research programs have a long and successful record of research collaboration promoted through independent and NSF multidisciplinary research centers that focus on common themes.
Labs and Computing Facilities
Engineering and computer science students pay an engineering fee per credit hour. These fees are channeled directly into services, facilities, materials and equipment that engineering and computer science students use every day. KU Engineering students have top facilities and tools to use 24/7 - 365.
The Engineering Career Center (ECC) hosts career fairs, promotes job and internship opportunities, provides workshops on career-related topics, provides resources for students to prepare for graduate school, and works with students individually to make sure that all students receive the best possible post-graduation resources.
Professional Development
A variety of professional development opportunities and resources are available for engineering graduate students. Many opportunities are available through the Graduate Engineering Association (GEA), a student organization which helps to facilitate workshops and events to enhance the graduate student experience while at KU.
Current Engineering Events and Resources
Learn about current engineering events, research programs, and graduate student resources through the School's monthly graduate student newsletter: Engineering Graduate Education Newsletter. Presentations from the annual Open House on the application process and funding sources for graduate education are also available for download.
