Goals and Objectives

GOALS

The main objective of the Food Engineering Department in Trakya University is to train students to use their knowledge and abilities to manufacture value-added healthy food products with emphasis on minimum waste of raw materials, with utmost care on high quality and, design and application of novel processes that would increase product quality and decrease production costs. Specific goals can be summarized as;

1. To provide the students with the knowledge on the characterization of food and agricultural materials and to provide the students with the ability of applying,  comparing and evaluating classical and novel food processing techniques in the field
2. To help the students to develop sustainable solutions to complex problems in engineering; to encourage them to develop their analytical/innovative thinking abilities and self-confidence in solving complex problems; to encourage them to participate and perform in multi-diciplinary and in-discipline teams;  to help them to adapt their instinct of curiosity to a life-long learning, interpretation and implementation practice; and to help them to develop their oral/written communication skills
3. To help the students to develop an understanding of social issues related with the food chain¸ and to help the them to develop awareness of professional responsability and ethical issues
