All on Food Processing Engineering

Vision:  To addresses the modern issues related to food processing and implement changes that incorporate cutting-edge research and technology to meet the challenges of today and the future food industry as well as to invigorate the program, and the profession at large, by redefining the practice of food process engineering for modern society.To addresses the modern issues related to food processing and implement changes that incorporate cutting-edge research and technology to meet the challenges of today and the future food industry as well as to invigorate the program, and the profession at large, by redefining the practice of food process engineering for modern society. 

Mission:
 I. To execute basic and applied research that advances the state of the profession. 
II. To educate the next generation of academic and industry leaders, and preparation of students for successful careers in professional practice. 
 III. To contribute in selected services to institutions and government for assessing the technical resources and promoting solutions to meet significant societal problems related to food security, safety and processing. 
 Program Educational Objectives:  
I. To develop knowledge and understanding about systems in the production, processing and consumption of food and an appreciation of their impact on society.  II. To impart knowledge about the nature of food and human nutrition and an appreciation of the importance of food to health.  
III. To build up skills in researching, analyzing and communicating issues related to food preservation, processing, storage and packaging. 
IV. To enhance skills in experimenting with and development of food products and equipment by applying theoretical concepts.
  V. To develop skills in designing, implementing and evaluating solutions to food industry situations.  

Program Outcome:  
I. Students will develop ability to identify and discuss a range of historical and contemporary factors which influence the consumption of particular food product as well as accounts for individual and group food selection patterns in terms of physiological, psychological, social and economic factors.
  II. Students will develop ability to explain and understand manufacturing processes and technologies used in the production of food products, examine the nature and extent of the food industry, justify processes of food product manufacturing and equipment design in terms of market, technological and environmental considerations. 
 III. Students will develop ability to evaluate the impact of the good manufacturing practices within the Indian food industry on the individual, society and environment. 
IV. Students will develop ability to explain the role of nutrients in human health and develop, prepare and present food products using modern processing, preservation and packaging techniques. 
V. Students will develop ability to evaluate the relationship between food production, consumption, promotion and health. 
VI. Students will develop skills in regulating food product manufacturing process, storage, distribution, sale and import to ensure availability of safe and wholesome food for human consumption. 
VII. Students will be able to provide scientific advice and technical support to food industry covered under Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, US FDA regulations and other related food standards.  

Process for defining the Vision and Mission of the Department and PEO of the program:  
I. The vision, mission and PEO of the program were defined based on the need of the society and food industry. Following parameters were considered. 
II. The overall program should have the ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering in food processing. 
III. The program should train the students how to design a food product, system, component, or process to meet desired needs of food industry 
IV. It should encourage the students to devlop the ability to function in a team.  
V. The program should develop characters of professional and ethical responsibilities.  
VI. It should impart knowledge of contemporary issues of food processing and food safety.

HOW CAN WE MOTIVATE OURSELVES MORE EFFECTIVELY THROUGH REINFORCEMENT?

•We'd all like to be more effective in reaching our goals, and according to behaviorists, the way to improve our effectiveness is by rewarding ourselves for the little steps that take us closer and closer to those desirable outcomes.  •First, find something you really like to do or something you'd like to have that can, realistically, serve as a reward.  •Then, take the goal that you are hoping to achieve that, realistically, you could achieve but just haven't succeeded at yet.  •Next, work backward from that goal to your present state.  •Arrange to give yourself those desired rewards as you inch closer from where you are now to the desired end point.  •As you start to make progress, only give yourself a reward when you've moved forward from where you are now.  •For example, if you'd like to cut back on your television watching and instead read more often, reward yourself by allowing yourself to watch television only when you've read for 20 minu...

WHY DO WE SLEEP AND DREAM?

•We spend about one-third of our lives sleeping.  •Why do we invest so much time in sleep?  •The most straight forward answer is that, sleep is restorative, and it replenishes the body's energy stores.  •However, intense neural activity during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, the stage in which most dreams occur, suggests there may be more to the story.  •One theory, which by far has the largest body of evidence, is that sleep plays a critical role in learning and consolidating memories.  •It is probably why infants and toddlers need up to 14 hours of sleep a day, with half of it spent in REM sleep.  •In adults, dreams may also play a role in brain plasticity and learning, which is why sleep-deprived adults perform worse in memory tests and tasks. 

Clouds are just water vapor, so why do they move?

Clouds are just water vapor , so why do they move ? •Clouds are not water vapor. Water vapor is the gas state of H 2 O and is invisible.  •The air around you on a humid summer day is chock full of water vapor, but you don't see any of it.  •On the other hand, there is very little water vapor in the air during the cold of winter, yet you can easily make clouds with your breath.  •Clouds are collections of liquid water droplets or ice that are small enough to float.  •When the water vapor in the air gets cold enough, it condenses back into liquid in the forms of droplets.  •But the condensation is not automatic. It takes a bit of matter – a condensation nucleus – in order to jump start the process. Dust, salt, and ice in the air do the trick by providing a surface for the water to condense on to.  •Clouds are white because the water droplets making the cloud are the right size to scatter light resonantly according to Mie scattering.  •Mie scatte...
