Food Science Research

Catalog description

Students participate in a mentored research experience in food science under the direction of a faculty member. Projects provide students with 'hands-on' opportunities to read/study/analyze/apply the scientific literature; design/conduct experiments; become proficient in analytical techniques/assays; and organize, analyze, interpret, and effectively communicate research findings (i.e., project final report, poster presentation, research seminar, etc.). A primary objective of this course is for students to become confident in the research process and become capable of independently conducting a research project in a future professional or graduate school setting.
