Food Process Engineering Principles

A working knowledge of engineering principles is invaluable in the design and optimization of food processes, yet this topic is increasingly now receiving less attention on food science degree programmes. To address this growing knowledge gap we provide this engaging and lively Food Engineering workshop. The workshop is presented by experts with vast experience in the application of engineering tools to solve relevant problems in the food industry.

The engineering principles covered in the programme, in topics such as fluid characteristics, concentration processes and powder handling, can be applied to troubleshoot a broad range of commercial food products and ingredients. These workshops are unique in that they combine both theoretical and practical learning. Knowledge exchange is effectively facilitated by focusing on small, interactive groups that allow for lively interactions. You will find this intimate and encouraging learning environment an ideal forum for updating or refreshing your knowledge and networking with experts from both industry and academia.
