Food Engineering
Food engineers apply the concepts and principles of engineering to the conversion of raw food stuffs into safe consumer products of the highest possible quality. They work in the areas of food handling, processing, packaging and distribution.
   
Examples

Because "we are what we eat", food engineers monitor and enhance the way food is hygienically manufactured, processed, packaged and delivered to our families' dinner tables.

Food engineers are involved in:
Developing ways to preserve food longer
Inventing new cooking technologies such as high-powered pizza ovens
Improving food transportation vehicles like ice cream trucks

Engineering in your Community

How is food shipped to your community? What foods grown, gathered or hunted locally could be processed for sale elsewhere?

Food engineering is an appetizing career possibility. As a food engineer you could contribute to economic development by establishing a process for manufacturing and shipping local food stuff like dried berry tea, caribou jerky and smoked salmon to markets in other parts of the country and all around the world.
