Program Description
The Master of Science, Applied (M.Sc.A.) in Bioresource Engineering (Non-Thesis):聽Integrated Food and Bioprocessing (IFB)聽offered by the Department of Bioresource Engineering in the Faculty of Agricultural & Environmental Sciences is a course-based program that emphasizes in-depth and skill-based learning opportunities. The program's objective is to equip students with skills in resourceful thinking, information literacy, and data analysis to pursue professional opportunities (or potentially continue their studies). The program equips students with the tools to understand how food and agricultural production interact, enabling them to better manage agricultural, food, and biomass systems for the adequate supply of wholesome food, feed, fiber, biofuel, and other bio-based materials.
