About the Department
The food process engineering department since its inception seeks to offer students a broad engineering education through its Undergraduate and Graduate Programs to apply this knowledge to handling, processing, storing, packaging, marketing and distribution of foods. This application stems from fundamentals in areas such as engineering mathematics, process control and optimization, product and process development as well as knowledge in the chemical, biochemical, physical and microbiological characteristics of food.
Get to know usThe wait was indeed worth it! The Association of Food Process Engineers is now officially open for business, marking a historic day for the industry.
The future of food process engineering arrived with energy and excitement on June 13th, 2025, as the Association of Food Process Engineers (AFPEN) officially launched to a resounding welcome from professionals, academics, and industry leaders alike.
The highly anticipated grand opening event was more than just an announcement; it was the birth of a central hub for innovation, collaboration, and advancement dedicated entirely to the brilliant minds who design, optimize, and secure our global food supply.
