Overview

About the Programme

B. Tech. in Food Process Technology programme is a four-year undergraduate programme that introduces students to food-related technologies and its various specifications. It includes the study of the nutritive values of food and their chemical composition and relates to the study of areas food production areas like packaging,   chemical balances of food, nutrition, microbiology etc. along with the foundational knowledge of food products and food raw materials.
 
Students are introduced to various techniques such as food marketing, food processing, food and its related research methods etc. which helps them to understand them in the raw form and cope up with the challenges in the food processing industry.
   
The curriculum is designed to impart engineering knowledge in topics such as Unit Operations, Food Preservation, Crop Processing, Food Packaging and Food Safety & Quality Management to the students.

Program Educational Objectives (PEO)

• PEO1:Graduates will be able to integrate the physical, biological and mathematical sciences with engineering principles for the study of food systems and human well being.
• PEO2:Graduates will demonstrate the applications of food processing and food engineering principles through development of appropriate equipment, processes and entrepreneurship that are of societal and industrial importance.
• PEO3:Graduates will adapt to and update with rapidly changing food processing ecosystem  through self-improvement with continuous learning about the impact of technology and engineering solutions on the sustainability of human nutrition and environment.
• PEO4:Graduates will develop communication skills and demonstrate independent thinking, analytical and problem solving skills, self-management and function effectively in team-oriented and open-ended activities in an industrial or academic environment.
• PEO5:Graduates will develop leadership skills at levels appropriate to their experience and perform ethically and professionally in business, academia, industry and society.
