emc_course_programme
In the online master's course, we will learn about how different choices in food production and processing methods affect sustainability. We need evaluation tools and a system design that maximises resource and technology utilisation to assess technologies. This course teaches Exergy Analysis, which measures the quality of different streams and their quantity. This analysis helps assess the efficiency of raw materials, energy, water, and utilities in various food production systems. It examines the supply chain, factory level, and individual products and operations.
The online master's course consists of online knowledge clips, digital exercises and case studies. All information will be provided on Brightspace.
