Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering
Become a new kind of engineer with a degree in mechanical engineering.
Program Overview
Mechanical engineering is a field of study that involves design and development, and analysis and control of devices and systems. It addresses topics such as solids, fluids and materials/manufacturing from fundamentals to specialization. Mechanical engineers address many challenges related to things all around, household refrigerators, automotive engines, airplanes, and more. The program will have a solid foundation in chemistry, physics, and math, and a curriculum including mechanics, material science, thermodynamics, and so much more. Finite element method will be employed for stress analysis of machine components and similarly energy systems are evaluated using computational fluid dynamics. All of these will prepare you for a versatile career to improve your community and the world around you.
The Concordia University Wisconsin Bachelor's of Science in Mechanical Engineering program will provide students with technical and creative problem-solving skills that meet professional expectations. The curriculum will be grounded in a Christian approach to making the world safer, healthier and more efficient.
The Mission of Mechanical Engineering is to positively affect communities by developing Christ-centered engineers with strong analytical, design and laboratory skills, ready for industry or advanced study. The Vision of all Engineering programs at Concordia is to produce Christ-centered Engineers, who will positively affect communities by integrating their faith and knowledge to create a safer, healthier and more efficient world by applying best practices, modern techniques, and innovation to their vocations.
A bachelor’s degree from Concordia in mechanical engineering can prepare you for a promising career. We prepare students to enter the workforce as mechanical engineers, aerospace engineers, automotive engineers, and in many more professions.

What to Expect
The Mechanical Engineering program consists of 133 credits, completed over eight semesters. Students will practice skills with hands-on experiential learning opportunities in modern labs, under the supervision of qualified and experienced faculty. Students will complete a capstone design project and are strongly encouraged to complete an internship. The total typical time to complete the program is four years. No minor will be required for mechanical engineering students as the program is credit heavy.
