Engineering writing at KU.

Mechanical, civil, electrical, and chemical engineering coursework. Lab reports, design projects, FEA / CFD analyses, and capstone dissertations.

How engineering is taught at KU

KU's engineering program runs with the institution's own house conventions for citation style, source expectations, and submission. Our writer-editor pair adapts to those before drafting begins — the wrong citation sub-variant or a misread of the rubric is what costs marks at the senior end of the marking band.

Programs we see at KU

• BSc in Aerospace Engineering
• BSc in Computer Engineering
• BSc in Mechanical Engineering
• MSc in Artificial Intelligence
• MSc in Engineering Systems and Management
• Doctor of Medicine (MD)

Common engineering assignments

• Thermodynamics and fluid mechanics lab reports
• Structural analysis and design reports
• Electrical circuit analysis assignments
• Control systems reports (MATLAB / Simulink)
• FEA simulation reports (ANSYS)
• CFD simulation reports
• Process flow diagrams and chemical engineering designs
• Capstone project reports

Citation expectations at KU

KU engineering modules typically expect IEEE, APA 7th, ACM. The editor confirms the exact sub-variant before drafting — this is the single most common place where marks leak quietly.

Turnitin and AI Writing detection

KU runs both Turnitin similarity and Turnitin AI Writing checks on submissions. Our policy: we don't use AI drafting tools at any stage. Every engineering delivery includes a free Turnitin similarity and AI Writing report so you can verify the numbers before submission.
