This program prepares you for the work in food industry.The Chemical Engineering part of program enables you to:develop an understanding of fundamental knowledge of Chemical Engineering principles and apply them to design sustainable processes and products for the benefit of society, environment, and businesses engage with the processes of innovation and global change and to deal with new challenges. develop sustaining values, including a commitment to their own learning.You’ll be able to develop appropriate processes and equipment and develop novel, healthy and functional food products that meet the consumer demands as well as industry’s strict safety and health guidelines. The program addresses the whole life cycle of food manufacturing which means our graduates are job ready, meeting food industry needs.The courses in this program are taught face to face on the RMIT city campus for the first three semesters. In later semesters, the Food Technology courses are taught at Bundoora campus in order to take advantage of the state of the art food processing pilot plant.This program has capstone experiences: ONPS2496 Product Development where you will develop a new product or reverse engineer an existing product, and OENG1167 Engineering Capstone Project Part A and OENG1168 Engineering Capstone Project Part B, where you will work on design projects based on industry input and involvement at various stages of the project.Please Note: The title of this double degree reflects the titles of the two component single degrees. The Bachelor of Science (Food Technology and Nutrition) single degree offers a choice of specialisation for students – either Food Technology or Nutrition. However, the nutrition major available to students in the single degree is not available to students in the double degree. This double degree is targeted towards producing graduates with skills and capabilities relating to large scale production of food, and as such the nutrition major of the single Food Technology programs is not appropriate.
