About the DepartmentThe foundation of the department, which was thefirst institution on food science in Turkey, datesback to 1933. Completion of the program requires atotal of 152 credit course during 8 semester, and apractical work (internship) of at least 30 days.The curriculum starts with fundamental coursesincluding mathematics, physics, chemistry, andfollows with basic engineering courses includingthermodynamics, fluid mechanics, energy and massbalance, reaction kinetics, unit operations, andfinally completed with food chemistry, foodmicrobiology, food analysis, food quality control inthe food science field, and cereal technology, fruitand vegetable processing, meat technology, fats andoil technology, and dairy technology in the foodtechnology field. Also, many elective courses in thefield of social sciences are available.The projects focus on chemical composition of food,food microbiology, food safety, shelf-life study offood, process improvement, and productdevelopment.Each year, about 80 undergraduate and 20 graduatestudents graduate from the department.Where can I work?Graduates with a degree in Food Engineering workfor a variety of organizations including researchlaboratories, food production plants, academic andgovernmental institutions, and auditing companies.Also, the graduates can start own business such ason consulting, and project development.
