• Food Engineering uses modern science and engineering practices in the manufacturing and distribution of food. To achieve this goal, an understanding of the basic principles and techniques of many disciplines, such as chemistry, physics, economics, engineering microbiology, management, nutrition and public health, must be combined with the ability to apply this knowledge to processing and preserving and marketing food. Food engineers are interested in the theoretical and practical aspects of the process of the food chain, from the production of raw materials to the final benefit of consumers. The curriculum provides a balanced presentation of the basic principles and useful applications of theory. Food engineers must be prepared to meet the challenges of work in areas such as grains, dairy, fruits and vegetables, meat, poultry and fish products, or future foods.

• Education and training are carried out in the form of formal, open or distance education. In addition, practical training is provided as internships or workplace training in laboratories and workshops within higher education institutions or in industry, healthcare institutions and workplaces.

• An  ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering.
• An  ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.
• An  ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs.
• An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams.
• An  ability  to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems.
• An  understanding of professional and ethical  responsibility.
• An  ability to communicate effectively.
• The  broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context.
• A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.

(4) The courses for which an exemption exam is to be administered, the requirements for exemption and the implementation principles are determined by the Senate upon the recommendation of the concerned faculty board.

(5) The coefficients of the letter grades, the score intervals used in the calculation of Grade Point Average and the standings related to success are indicated below:

a)

b) The grade NA is designated due to one of the conditions below. The grade NA is processed as FF in the calculation of the Grade Point Average.

3) The grade EX (exempt) is designated to students who have been exempted from certain courses in the curriculum.

4) The grade I (incomplete) is designated to students who are not able to complete the course requirements by the end of the semester or the summer school for a reason found valid by the course instructor. The grade "I" must be converted to a letter grade within a week from the last day of grade submissions for the semester or summer school. In special cases, however, this period may be extended latest until the date registrations start for the following semester, when it must be converted to a letter grade. These special procedures are conducted by recommendation of the department chair offering the course and the approval of the concerned administrative board. In case of failure to convert the grade "I" to a letter grade within the required period, the grade "I" will be automatically converted to the grade "FF" or "U". The dates concerning the letter grade "I" are indicated in the academic calendar.(*)

In order to monitor the quality of higher education programs;

YÖK is responsible for the planning, organization, management and supervision of education, training and other activities carried out in higher education institutions.

"University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" of higher education institutions, prepared every year within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK, are published. Reports prepared according to these reports, containing quantitative and qualitative evaluations for higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

Every year, YÖK publishes the "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report", which includes academic, administrative and financial data of foundation higher education institutions. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK. Quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is provided according to the "Procedures and Principles for Providing Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs":

1. Creation and Approval of Curriculum:

1.1. YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the opening of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.

1.2. The curriculum of undergraduate programs in higher education institutions and the learning outcomes that each program will bring to the student are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.

1.3. The curriculum of National Core Education Programs is implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of YÖK after being accepted by the relevant Deans Council.

2. Measurement-Evaluation: How to measure and evaluate the learning outcomes that each undergraduate program will provide to the student is carried out in accordance with the education, training and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.

3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs, if they successfully complete the course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions; receives a bachelor's degree.
