Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Concordia University Wisconsin offers rigorous, industry-aligned programs in Chemical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Each program blends:

• Strong math and science foundations
• Hands-on lab and design experiences
• Faculty mentorship
• Early internship opportunities
• Faith-integrated learning

Graduates leave CUW prepared not only for competitive careers in manufacturing, energy, automation, and product development—but also equipped to lead and serve wherever their calling takes them.

Real-world experience

Engineering students don’t wait until junior or senior year to gain real-world experience. Even freshmen and sophomores are already landing internships, contributing to industry projects, and applying what they learn in the classroom to real engineering challenges.

Our students graduate with more than classroom knowledge, they graduate with applied experience. They reflect the strength of CUW’s industry partnerships and our commitment to preparing students for meaningful careers from day one.

Christ-centered engineering

“Our vision is to produce Christ-centered engineers who integrate faith and learning,” says Dr. Subha K. Kumpaty, Chair of Engineering. “They are ultimately serving God’s purposes in their lives, which benefits the whole community.”

You’ll be challenged academically and formed spiritually — developing:

• Ethical leadership
• Integrity in design decisions
• Servant-leader mindset
• Commitment to serving communities through innovation

Mechanical engineering at CUW is about career and calling.

Coursework overview

Employers seek engineers who can think critically, work collaboratively, and act ethically. You won’t just study theory, you’ll test, build, design, and refine solutions in modern engineering labs. Your coursework combines rigorous math and science foundations with applied engineering practice. Core areas include:

• Engineering Mechanics
• Thermodynamics
• Fluid Mechanics
• Materials Science
• Heat Transfer
• Mechanical Design
• Manufacturing Processes
• Control Systems

Senior Capstone

In your senior year, you’ll complete a comprehensive capstone design project, working in teams to solve a real engineering challenge. This experience integrates everything you’ve learned, technical analysis, budgeting, design iteration, presentation skills, and ethical evaluation. It’s your launch point into professional practice.
