concerns of food engineering. Employment opportunities at the B.S. level include production management, product and process development, process design and project engineering. Food preservation operations and food processing operations are examples of activities that require the skills of food engineering technologists and engineers. The department offers education at both undergraduate and graduate levels (M.S. and PhD). The graduate programme aims to provide more depth and breadth to the undergraduate background of the students. Department of Mechanical Engineering Mechanical Engineering ranges from aerospace equipment, automobiles, heavy machinery, through to manufacturing, production and management. The fields in which mechanical engineers work, cover design, manufacture, research, development, operations, maintenance, education and management. The curriculum is basically the same as that offered by the department when it was affiliated to M.E.T.U. leading to BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees in Mechanical Engineering. Besides the general laboratories, facilities for graduate research and industrial projects are available Department of Textile Engineering The Department of Textile Engineering offers courses with laboratory training leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science. Along with the academic training, the students are required to participate in summer practice. Department of Civil Engineering The department has been furnished with equipment for construction materials, land surveying, structural mechanics, transportation, fluid mechanics, hydraulics, hydrology and water resources to serve the needs of education and research. There are laboratories for construction materials, structural mechanics, transportation, soil mechanics and hydraulics, used for instruction, graduate research and for expert service to industry. Students successfully completing their courses are entitled to a 'Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering' degree. Practical experience is a must for this degree and accordingly, students are required to do engineering practice at the end of their first, second and third years. During the fourth year, technical elective courses are offered to enable the students to further their knowledge in specific fields. A graduate program is offered in the fields of construction materials, transportation, hydraulics, structural mechanics, geotechnics and construction management leading to the degree of Master of Science (MSc) in Civil Engineering.
