Description This unit will require students to develop an understanding of the dangers of food borne illnesses and how food engineers are called upon to develop measures to ensure the safe production, preparation, and preservation of food products.
Students will discover how population growth curves predict the spread of bacteria, investigate, compare and design scientific and technological solutions to address personal and societal problems concerning safe food production, and compare the charac


teristics, structures and life cycles of simple bacterial organisms in order to develop strategies that will ensure foods are safe from bacterial infestations.
