Our Story
The Department of Food Engineering was founded in 1990. The establishment of the Department originated from the fact that KMUTT was at that time responsible for the technical management of the Royal Project food processing plants located in rural areas; the plants were first initiated by H.M. the King to assist poor rural people by purchasing their agricultural produces at guaranteed prices. Having had long experience in providing technical assistance and management to the Royal Project food plants, KMUTT experienced at first hand the disadvantages caused by lack of qualified food engineers in the food industry. The Food Engineering program was therefore set up to serve the rising demand for qualified engineers for the fast growing food industry of Thailand.
