The course will be implemented together with Food Engineering under couse name Food and Packaging. In this course, Materials Technology and Food Engineering students for groups of 5 persons where they work together.The main task is to develop together a new food product and a packaging for it . The Food Eng. students are responsible for product development and Materials Tech. students are responsible for packaging development. Furthermore, Business students execute a Customer Survey, which will be connected to reporting.
Evaluation scale
H-5
Assessment methods and criteria
The calculation of final grade for Materials Technology students:
35% Development Task + 30% Other Tasks + 35% Book Exam +/- 1 grade from Laboratory work activity
Product and package design tasks will be evaluated together.
For Materials Tech. students the evaluation of task will be:
-75% packaging design task + reporting
- 25% whole development report
The report will be evaluated based on Chemical Engineering's general reporting assessment criteria.
