Undergraduate Education of Food Science and Technology,TUST
College of Food Engineering and Biotechnology (CFEB) was evolved from food engineering department, Tianjin Institute of Light Industry, founded in 1958. It had two disciplines of food engineering and fermentation engineering. As early founded food education programs, they provided a large percentage of food oriented graduates before 1980s, especially in the North of China.
Food engineering department was renamed as CFEB in 2001 with the restructure of Tianjin Institute of Light Industry as Tianjin University of Science and Technology (TUST). CFEB has made remarkable progress in many aspects such as discipline construction, talent cultivation, teaching and research through continuous construction of three five-year plans. CFEB offers five undergraduate programs to more than 300 student enrolments each year, including Food Science and Technology, Food Quality and Safety, Dairy Engineering, Grain Oil Engineering and Biotechnology. CFEB offers seven programs for postgraduate training, involving Food Science, Food Nutrition and Safety, Biotechnology, Sugar Engineering, Processing and Storage Engineering of Agro-products, Engineering of Grain, Oil and Vegetable Protein, Processing and Storage of Aquatic Products. Each year, CFEB has enrolled more than 200 master students and 20 Ph.D candidates. "Food Science" Discipline has been invested for the key construction project of CFEB will hard work in the aspect of talent cultivation, research, social services and cultural heritage towards her target of a research/teaching distinctive college, first-class in China and well-regarded internationally.
