Engagement
Our students are as eager to connect with you as you are with them. From events to career preparation activities, there are numerous ways to build relationships with KU Engineering & Computing Students. We encourage you to explore the options, then contact our staff to get started!
Mock Interviews & Resume Reviews
Employer participation in mock interviews and resume reviews through the ECC is a win-win. Our students gain confidence and are better prepared for the job search process, and you will have the opportunity to promote your organization while previewing future candidates.
Employer Panels and Workshops
Employer panels, lunch and learns, and workshops are scheduled each semester to connect students with experienced professionals to share expertise on industry trends, career advice and professional development strategies.
Jayhawks on the Job
Jayhawks on the Job is an event organized by the School of Engineering that allows students to “shadow” an engineering or computing professional during the course of a workday.
Career Road Trips
Help students explore career options by hosting a Career Road Trip. The KU Engineering Career Center takes students on the road to learn about area employers. Participating employers agree to host a small group of students and staff for a tour and discussion of engineering careers within their organization. Visits usually last 1-2 hours, depending on the activities involved.

Industry Nights
Industry Nights give students an opportunity to explore the variety of engineering careers within specific industries. Interactions take place in small groups, where employers have an opportunity to share information about their organization's role within an industry and answer student questions. Students rotate among the employers present so they come away from the event with a broader view of the career options available to them.
