This program is designed for students who aspire to enter the modern food industry, integrating knowledge across food science, food process engineering, and industrial engineering. It aims to develop graduates who understand everything from raw material quality, production processes, and quality control to plant design, as well as planning and optimizing industrial-scale production systems.
Students will gain knowledge in both food science and technology alongside engineering concepts, including food processing operations, heat and mass transfer, production tools and systems, quality control and assurance, production planning, industrial safety, engineering economics, work study, and operations research.
A key strength of this program is its focus on developing graduates who do not view food merely as a product, but who understand the entire “food industrial system”—from product development and process design to standard control and production line management—ensuring efficiency, safety, and competitiveness in real-world industries.
Why choose this double degree program?
The modern food industry requires professionals with interdisciplinary knowledge. It is no longer enough to understand food alone; professionals must also understand production systems, machinery, quality standards, safety, cost, time, and process efficiency.
This program is ideal for those who aim to become key contributors in the food industry, whether in production, process control, factory system development, quality control, research and development, or entrepreneurship in food and food processing businesses.
Why study at KMITL?
The Faculty of Food Industry at King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL) combines strong expertise in food science and technology with engineering knowledge from the Faculty of Engineering. This provides students with a comprehensive perspective covering both food and industrial systems.
Throughout the program, students will engage in theoretical learning, laboratory practice, internships, and courses connected to real industrial applications. This prepares them to work confidently with production teams, engineering teams, quality control teams, and production management teams.
Career Opportunities
Graduates can pursue careers in both public and private sectors, including food manufacturing, food processing industries, research institutions, and organizations related to the food industry, such as:
- Production Engineer
- Process Control Engineer
- Industrial Engineer in Food Factories
- Quality Control and Quality Assurance Officer
- Food Scientist
- Food Research and Development Specialist
- Production Planning and Control Specialist
- Entrepreneur in the food and food processing industry
This program is an excellent choice for those who seek more than traditional food studies, aiming instead to understand the full picture of the food industry—from products and processes to machinery, factories, quality, and production system efficiency.
