KU Academic Catalog
An overview of the School of Engineering and each engineering program's academic requirements, suggested course schedules, and school regulations are available at the KU Academic Catalog. Published yearly, the academic catalog lists degree requirements for students entering each academic year. Navigate to the School of Engineering in the academic catalog for current degree requirements.
Visit your specific academic year catalog in the archived catalogs for your specific degree requirements, based on the semester you entered KU. Sample degree plans are available here.
Undergraduate Academic Advising
The School of Engineering places an Engineering Advising Hold (EAH) on undergraduate student accounts each semester. To enroll, students must meet with their academic advisor to have the hold removed. Your dedicated engineering academic advisor is part of Jayhawk Academic Advising (JAA) and serves as your liasion to the EECS department. Your advisor assignment is listed in Jayhawk GPS. This is where you will sign up for an advising appointment. For general inquiries, contact engr@ku.edu or advising@ku.edu. Review advising information for engineering students here.

Python to C++ Boot Camp
Professor Gibbons has created an online, video-based "boot camp" to help students make the transition from Python (in EECS 168 and EECS 268) to C++ (used in some later classes). The link to that boot camp can be found here.
Associated Student Organizations
KU Information Security Club
KU Information Security Club (aka the Jayhackers) The Information Security Club is a competition based group that focuses on learning security concepts through Collegiate Cyber Defense Competitions. KUISC provides students with hands-on experience in offensive and defensive security concepts in competitions and lab workshops. In addition to experience, security professionals from the industry are invited in to give talks about their work and how school might prepare them. This club allows for a rare combination of technical and team skills that can expand a student's knowledge and leadership.
