BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING (PROCESS AND FOOD)

a.
Objective
Bachelor of Engineering (Process and Food) Programme facilitates professionals in
material process based on agriculture and biology, which include physical and
design engineering processes, mass transfer process and design engineering,
equipment process and control engineering, process reactor and design
engineering.
b.
Purpose
To prepare and cure biological/agricultural raw materials using advanced
processes to convert into processed foods as well as utilising bio-products/agrobased materials as inputs for the production of consumer foods (food,
pharmaceutical and industrial materials).
c.
Basic
Bachelor of Engineering (Process and Food) curriculum is designed to focus on
knowledge and skills in the integrated process and food engineering especially in
processing biological/agricultural raw materials into consumer food. Also, such
processes are done to produce pharmaceutical and industrial materials.
Graduates from this programme can find career development opportunity in
various relevant industries such as manufacturing/processing plant operation and
management, engineering design (process, equipment and system design),
product development and research.
To fullfil the demand in the food processing and agriculture based industries,
Bachelor of Engineering (Process and Food) curriculum is designed to include two
main options during the final year of study, i.e. Food and Bio-material Processing
Engineering options. Food Engineering option focus to where the students are
majoring in process operations of converting biological/agricultural raw materials
into consumer food, and designing the process, equipment and process system
using parallel control, and efficient energy management. While, Bio-material
Processing Engineering option focus on the usage of principles and concept of
the process engineering in biological/agricultural based industries, such as that
are related to palm oil, rubber, cocoa, etc. Also, designing the process,
equipment and process system using parallel control, and efficient energy
management are included in the second option. Focus also been given in
producing new products of food, pharmaceutical and industrial materials using
the biological/agricultural raw materials.
Job Oppurtunity in Process And Food Engineering
a) Factory Operation and Management
Food and biological/agricultural raw materials processing factories need a lot of
process engineers to handle production process based on operational unit and
automatic process control. For such factory managements, engineers are needed
to plan and design the facotry development based on product addition,
production time line, certain production number and the factory operation
analysis so that energy is efficiently used, process and sectors in transferring
updated technology.
b) Product Development and Researches
Food are normally developed based on the consumers need. Form time to time,
new foods are developed in terms of form, taste, packaging and ingeredients, all
to attract the interest of the consumers. Hence, there is a need for a process
engineer to be involved in such activity to maintain the quality of the food while
enhance the taste of the new products. Engineers are also needed to design
proper machines and process involve so that the cost-effective foods are
produced. With these kind of equipment, production could be easily increased
while reducing the cost.
