New Undergraduate
Congratulations on your acceptance to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at the University of Kansas! Here, you will find important information regarding your upcoming enrollment and education in the EECS department. Additional resources for your success are available from the EECS department, here.
New Undergraduate Information
This seminar helps connect freshmen and transfer EECS students to the EECS department, their chosen profession, and each other. Topics include overviews of the various disciplines, curricula and advising, ethics and professionalism, student organizations and extracurricular activities, senior projects, and career planning.
Both of these courses will be taken in an EECS student's first year of courses.
- Co-requisite for each: MATH 104 (Precalculus) or MATH 125 (Calculus I)
Honors sections are available for enrollment, EECS 141 and EECS 169.
All pre-requisites must be completed before enrolling in a course.
Co-requisites can be taken at the same time.
All freshman-sophomore requirements (EECS, Math, Science, and English) must be completed with a grade of C or better before taking junior-level (300+) EECS courses.
EECS 312, EECS 330, EECS 361, and EECS 388 are exceptions to this rule. They may be taken in the same semester as you are completing your upper-level eligibility courses.
While financial realities may require students to work, we advise they follow the “60-hour rule”. For every hour spent in class, students will spend at least two additional preparation hours outside of class. Students who exceed the 60-hour rule often struggle in the classroom.
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.
