My Major

Nowadays there is a growing need for engineers who are familiar with the fundamental problems m food processing and production. In the near future many of the food production engineers will be recent university graduates. The students of the Ternopil State I. Pul'uj Technical University will apply their theoretical and practical knowledge at different food industry enterprises after completing their course of study at the University. The level of specialists training will allow them to develop competitive and qualitative technological equipment for food production and processing factories and plants, to conduct reconstruction and technological installation of food production enterprises, to provide technical maintenance of the equipment, its assembling, diagnostics and repair.

The Department of Processing Technologies in Food Industry was founded in 1995 and today it includes two chairs: food technologies equipment and food biotechnologies and chemistry. Educational process and scientific research are provided with all necessary installation in special laboratories (laboratory of food industry processes and apparatuses, canning technologies laboratory, technical microbiology lab., refrigerating technologies lab. and many others). The students are taught and assisted by highly-qualified lecturers, including Doctors of Sc., Candidates of Sc. and Assistant-Professors.

As engineers make the vast contribution in design, assembling and maintenance of new types of equipment we need their analytical frame of mind and their imagination. They may design an instrument or device themselves; invent new model, test it, its components, analyze its performance and make a mathematical analysis. So they must be aware of making drawings and specifications. They may be concerning themselves with the development of a new production process, or the adaptation of current process to a new product. Besides, food industry engineers must have a deep knowledge of foods, their components and processing technologies. They may utilize their engineering know-how in determining the best processes and equipment for the mass production of high-quality products. They may be project engineers in charge of the design and installation of a highly automatic conveyer system for handling different kinds of parts between various assembly stations.

Being a student of our university you have a chance to get a wide range of necessary knowledge in exact humanitarian sciences, marketing and management, to learn one or two foreign languages.

After graduation from the university young people will be able to work at different enterprises of food and processing industry, food industry mechanical engineering, small and joint ventures, in scientific-research institutions, design bureaus. The best students of our department have an opportunity to develop the scientific abilities, continuing their study at the post-graduate courses.
