Purpose
The Food Science & Technology CDE promotes learning activities in food science and technology related to the food industry and helps students develop practical knowledge of the principles used in team decision-making.
What students do: Teams of four develop a food product for a scenario: they choose ingredients, calculate the Nutrition Facts panel, design the package, and plan production and food safety. Each student also takes a general knowledge exam and completes sensory tests (aroma identification and triangle tests) and a food safety practicum.
