This new MSc program incorporates first-time innovation management in the food processing curricula. The purpose of the MSc Program in Food Processing and Innovation is to educate aspiring food entrepreneurs, government officials, and food industry professionals in the end-to-end value chain of food processing – from understanding the elements of food to starting a new venture for disrupting and enriching the food processing industry in Asia.

The Course of Food Science and Nutrition is an integrative discipline, in which the principles of biological and physical science are used to study the nature of foods and the consumption and utilization aspects of food and its constituents. Students enrolled in this program are encouraged to study subjects from the molecular level to health and environmental issues relating to food. Through the programs offered in the Food Science and Nutrition course, students are expected to understand the roles of nutrients in supporting vital functions or life functions, the principles underlying the processing and preparing of food, and toxicology. They are also to gain the laboratory disciplines and application skills in biotechnology, toxicology, microbiology, biochemistry, and nutritional sciences. Such knowledge and skills prepare them to work in the food industry in research and development of food products and processes, to serve in government regulatory agencies as food specialists and health advisors, and to find positions in academic institutions as teachers and researchers. Graduates find employment in food and health-related industries and in governmental agencies and laboratories. Those who are certified as junior and senior high school teachers find positions in schools as a teacher of home economics. Some graduates enter the Ph.D. course of food science, nutritional science, and biological sciences.

The mission of the School of Engineering at USEK is to provide an inspiring and supportive environment for high-quality and effective education, develop students’ creative and critical thinking, and graduate lifelong leaders capable of addressing emerging problems in light of the changes and new challenges in engineering careers.
