Food Science Co-op Information for Employers
Adding Value to Your Team
Food Science is an applied discipline that draws on all areas of science: chemistry, physics, engineering, biology and nutrition. Food scientists are involved in the transformation of raw agricultural products into various consumer products.
A tremendous amount of technical training is required to develop and formulate safe, nutritious foods, manufacture and package them, preserve their quality, and supply the consumer with a wide variety of menu items and snack foods.
In our state-of-the-art facilities, students will gain these technical competencies and will apply this knowledge to industrial processes.
