Career Opportunities
Food Science and Technology programme is expected to develop highly informed, skilled and inspired professionals and have the competency to generate novel food products, upgrade local food processing techniques, simulate imported food products and provide innovative solutions to the challenges in food industry, regulatory space and research institutes. The Food Science and Technology CCMAS places a high premium on the following twelve employability skills as its desired programme outcome in line with global best academic and professional practices:
The job options for a Food Science and Technology graduate are numerous, a few is listed below:
PHILOSOPHY
The need for manpower required for the preservation of many agricultural crops and development of products or processes that will provide nutritious and balanced diet to the people has been the concern of all involved in national development. Food Science and Technology applies science and engineering principles in processing, preservation, packaging, storage and distribution, analysis and evaluation of foods and associated raw materials (additives) in exploitation, design and analysis of food systems /machineries.
The general philosophy therefore is to produce graduates with high academic standard in all aspects of food and its post-harvest issues possessing adequate practical background for self- employment as well as being of immediate value to industry, academia and the community in global food security.
OBJECTIVE
The objectives of the programme are to adopt the principles of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in:
- Managing food science and technological challenges;
- The conversion of raw agricultural produce into processed, packaged, shelf-stable food products and intermediate raw materials;
- Executing different types of food preservation;
- Establishment, maintenance and assurance of quality of food products and processes in the plant/factory;
- Design and maintenance of food process machines;
- Direct practical experience in food industries, food research laboratories/stations/higher academic institutions;
- Supporting governmental agencies responsible for the formulation and enforcement of food laws;
- Developing and imparting entrepreneurial skills that will make graduates employable or self-reliant/self-employed;
- Understanding all the materials, components, machines, equipment, production techniques and systems in food science and technology;
- Adapting and adopting exogenous technology in order to solve local technical problems;
- Managing people, fund, materials and equipment;
- Improving on indigenous technology to enhance local problems solving capabilities; and
- Developing novel products, simulating imported food products and consequently helping to decrease capital flight.
