Program Overview

What is chemical engineering?

Chemical engineering is a discipline that involves transforming raw materials and chemicals into useful products through processes that are sustainable.

Chemical engineers address many societal challenges, such as energy generation, water purification, food production, resource utilization, pharmaceutical production, and more. Specific chemical engineering innovations include designing catalytic converters to reduce vehicle emissions and seawater desalination.

Why study chemical engineering at CUW?

Built on chemistry, physics, and math, the chemical engineering curriculum prepares you to design safe, sustainable reaction and separation processes for careers serving the global community.

CUW's chemical engineering curriculum is grounded in a Christian context that embraces our God-given dominion [Genesis 1:26] and implicit responsibility to global sustainability.

Career outlook

Become prepared to enter the workforce with a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering. Gain hands-on internship experience before graduation.

Concordia prepared me for my internship by starting me off with the basics of what I needed to know, as well as working with me personally to ensure I could not only find an internship, but excel while there.
