Completion of the program requires a total of 152 credit course during 8 semester, and a practical work (internship) of at least 30 days. The curriculum starts with fundamental courses including mathematics, physics, chemistry, and follows with basic engineering courses including thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, energy and mass balance, reaction kinetics, unit operations, and finally completed with food chemistry, food microbiology, food analysis, food quality control in the food science field, and cereal technology, fruit and vegetable processing, meat technology, fats and oil technology, and dairy technology in the food technology field. Also, many elective courses in the field of social sciences are available. The projects focus on chemical composition of food, food microbiology, food safety, shelf-life study of food, process improvement, and product development. Each year, about 80 undergraduate and 20 graduate students graduate from the department. Where can I work? Graduates with a degree in Food Engineering work for a variety of organizations including research laboratories, food production plants, academic and governmental institutions, and auditing companies.
