As others have mentioned, I see no reason for any kind "kit". Joe's suggestion to look for used books on Ebay etc sounds like a good idea to me. I don't think I ever bought any of my books for my private as some pilot friends gave or let me borrow their old stuff. I had a set of the King videos from a friend, but after watching a couple, I got bored and gave up on them.

Between a bit of reading, casually talking with your flight instructor before/during/after flying and a few evenings of going through the Gleim test prep just prior to taking written tests, you will breeze right through the process.

With an engineering college education and with your aviation related work history, I can 100% guarantee you will have no problem bypassing formal "ground school". By the time you get all your flight time in, you will have absorbed all you will need to get your ticket.
