B.Sc. BIOPROCESS AND POST-HARVEST ENGINEERING DEGREE PROGRAMME (B.Sc. BPE)
PROGRAMME AIMSThe B.Sc. Bioprocess and Post-harvest Engineering degree programme aims to provide:
(i) The necessary background in technology, analytical and managerial skills which will enable graduates to analyse and assess bioprocess and post-harvest engineering systems.
(ii) Professionalism and confidence that permits graduates to fill professional positions that demand both engineering and materials related skills.
(iii) Knowledge and skills in design, construction, operation, management and maintenance of bioprocess and post-harvest systems infrastructure and equipment.
(iv) The necessary entrepreneurial skills required for graduates to become job creators rather than job seekers.
(v) A sound base from which the graduates can embark on postgraduate studies in bioprocess and post-harvest engineering and related professional disciplines.
(vi) Confidence required of graduates in communication to address broad community and professional issues in a multidisciplinary spectrum of operation.
To produce graduates that:
(vii) Can spearhead the move to reduce post-harvest losses and modernize the value chain.
(viii) Have broad knowledge and skills to fill gaps often encountered in processing industries and the related materials handling systems.
(ix) Are competent in the technology and art of processing and preservation of biological products with the eventual aim of adding value to satisfy market demands and bridge food insecurity.
(x) Can manage bioprocess and post-harvest systems organizations to perform at the expected levels.
