The Food and Bioprocess Engineering certificate shows student's capability to apply rigorous engineering principles to food, agricultural and biological materials in the manufacture of food, biochemicals and biofuels for industrial, human and animal uses.
Program Highlights
The courses emphasize properties of agricultural and biological materials that are processed, familiarity of major bioprocesses used to produce food, fuel and industrial compounds, and familiarity with bioprocessing equipment. This is unique to FBE as the inputs into these bioprocesses are complex and vary due to their biological nature.
