Message from instructor(s)
Connecting what you learn at university and business in society should be most required for students and direct lectures and communication with the lecturers in the food industry will be the best to learn about from management on technology to actual issue solving.
During classes, various role-play activities will be given and those will help students to learn better closer to the industry. Relativity and correlation between academia and business
are what you learn during classes.
