The program entitled Food Chemistry and Biochemical Technologies is meant to assure a sound engineering education by both, fundamental and specialty disciplines; a distinct stress is put on quality control of food as well as on food production. The intent of curricula is to accumulate general knowledge referring to:
- Understanding fundamental processes and equipment in food industry;
- Comprehending the modern techniques used for manufacture and quality control for principal food products;
- Synthesis and usage for auxiliaries employed in food industry;
- Solving environment difficulties specific to food industry.
These aims are achievable, as they are based on an educational offer containing both, fundamental teaching, as well as specific engineering education; in this way, our graduates can respond to the present and future requirements of the society:
- Quality training, based on engineering skills so that graduates will fully understand the correlation between technological parameters and the quality of food products;
- Training in finding the toxicity of some food foodstuffs;
- Assuring competences regarding contamination of food products by using modern analysis methods;
- Ensuring working abilities in multidisciplinary teams with regard to quality control of food products, by using up-to-date techniques;
- Convincing the graduates of the need for long-life learning (lll).
Achieving an educational program connected to the needs of Romanian food industry has implied establishing strong partnerships with commercial societies in this field. Besides, there are conventions signed with industrial enterprises with the corresponding profile so that students can take practical stages; also, periods spent in research units are available for our students.
Education program has been conceived so that to be attractive, efficiently using the time dedicated to lectures, projects, practical work in laboratories and so on.
