Mechanical Engineering Undergraduates
As Mechanical Engineering undergradute students, you are assigned staff academic advisors through Jayhawk Academic Advising and a faculty member to help guide you through your undergraduate academic career as well as plan for a career in mechanical engineering. Both of these can be found in your Jayhawk GPS portal. In addition to your advisor and mentor you can contact either:
Kate Maisch (staff Undergraduate Program Coordinator) kmaisch@ku.edu and
Dr. Robb Sorem (faculty Executive Associate Chair) sorem@ku.edu
They can both help answer course, degree, or career questions throughout your undergraduate career.
They both have virtual office hours throughout the Fall semester. You can join either of our meetings to ask questions and talk about your undergraduate career.
Kate - Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 10:00AM-12:00PM
Dr. Sorem - Tuesdays - Fridays from 11:00AM-12:00PM
