Food Engineering

Hello, I'm Rüveyda Erdem. I am studying at Inonu University, Department of Food Engineering. Our department is located in the central campus of Inonu University, within the complex of 6 blocks of the Faculty of Engineering. Our campus is very well planned and offers places that can meet our housing, shopping, sports and artistic needs. Our department is involved in the processes of producing, packaging and storing food in healthy and hygienic conditions in food enterprises. In our 4-year education program, we see basic courses in 1st year, engineering courses in the 2nd year and field courses such as Oil Technology and Meat Technology in the 3rd and 4th years, both theoretically and practically. Our department is well equipped in terms of laboratory facilities. It has food analysis, basic processes, microbiology, biotechnological product development sensory analysis and instrumental analysis laboratories. In addition, we receive hands-on trainings on specific subjects such as Fat, Milk and Dairy Products, Fruits and Vegetables, Meat Technology, Food Microbiology and Food Nanotechnology. In our department, we do internships for a total of 40 working days in the summer period of the 3rd year. 20 days of this internship is in production and 20 days is in the laboratory. As a graduation project in design class, we prepare a project which blends the topics from 4 years of education. We can work in the quality control department in public institutions such as The Commodity Exchange, Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Ministry of Trade and Customs and factories producing industrial food. We also have employment opportunities in health and service departments. I chose this department because of my interest in food businesses since I was a little girl. Before I chose this department, I contacted the professors to confirm that I was on the right track. Our campus has wide social and cultural opportunities. As a green campus, it ranks high in the world. I chose Inonu University for these reasons. After graduating, I want to complete my master's and doctoral education and pursue an academic career. I recommend students who will prefer our university and department to benefit from the academic staff of our university and the facilities of our campus. It’s a privilege to be a part of İnönü University. We're waiting for you all here.
