Course overview
In this course students will apply the basic principles of process engineering to application in the food processing industry. Concepts covered in other core chemical engineering courses are reinforced by providing practical applications of the process engineering concepts in the food processing industry. Topics presented illustrate applications of process engineering during the handling, processing, storage, packaging and distribution of food products. This course aligns with the program’s intent to demonstrate a chemical engineering body of knowledge and apply this knowledge along with critical thinking, creativity, and innovation for industrial and real-life complex problems.
