The 1st class is Tuesday, September 5, 2007.
It will be meeting in room 119 Babcock at 1:20.

The purpose of this course is to introduce food science students to the principles of engineering as applied to foods and food processing systems. But this does not mean that we want you to become engineers! Rather, through practice and repetition in example problems and homework, the ability to solve problems will be developed.

In particular, the principles of fluid flow, heat transfer and mass transfer in food engineering will be covered as well as mass and energy balances and simple gas thermodynamics. Then the application of these principles to food processing systems will be emphasized.
