Food engineering is frequently the first course in which a food science student is exposed to quantitative examination of the interaction of physical and energy transfer operations with food materials. It is also frequently the first opportunity for the student to apply the " mathematics through calculus" that is required in food science programs. - Oziq-ovqat muhandisligi ko'pincha oziq-ovqat fanlari talabasi oziq-ovqat materiallari bilan jismoniy va energiya uzatish operatsiyalarining o'zaro ta'sirini miqdoriy tekshirishga duchor bo'lgan birinchi kursdir. Bu, shuningdek, talaba uchun oziq-ovqat fanlari dasturlarida talab qilinadigan "hisoblash orqali matematika" ni qo'llash uchun tez-tez birinchi imkoniyatdir.
