Food Engineering (FENG)
School of Engineering, College of Engineering and Physical Sciences
The Food Engineering Minor is designed to better prepare non-biological engineering students for careers in the food industry. The minor will provide students with the skill set for success in the growing food industry by helping them understand the physical, chemical and biological phenomena involved in conversion of raw agri-food ingredients into consumable food products.
Minor Requirements (Honours)
This minor cannot be combined with a Food Engineering Area of Emphasis in the Biological Engineering major.
A minimum of 5.00 credits is required (all 3.50 required credits, plus 1.50 credits of restricted electives).
Students may double count FENG minor requirements in accordance with existing double counting rules for their degree program. A maximum overlap of 50% will be applied in instances where no double counting rule otherwise exists.
