First, suitable for the crowd:
Food science and engineering is more suitable for girls, because its content is boring, and it is also very suitable for girls with more liberal arts thinking. Girls studying science can be given priority. For boys studying science, whether it is the content of study or the future employment, they need to carefully consider whether they can meet the planning requirements for the future. Therefore, there are fewer male students in this major in our college, and the ratio of male to female is almost 1: 5.

Second, the learning content:
In fact, different schools have also subdivided many specialties about food. For example, I am in Inner Mongolia Agricultural University, with dairy project, packaging engineering and so on. Other schools also have winemaking and the like, which is related to regional characteristics. But food science and engineering include all the contents of these majors, mainly chemistry, but not so boring. Freshman and sophomore laid the foundation of analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, biochemistry, general chemistry and organic chemistry. I'm not very good at chemistry either, but it's not that difficult because of my theory. There are specialized courses in junior and senior, such as meat, dairy products, fruit trees, preservation, beverage technology, food microbiology, food engineering principles and so on. In short, the combination of chemistry and food, as well as various experiments, I find it very interesting, and girls who like to eat strongly recommend it!

Third, the industry background:
In 2020, China's food manufacturing industry achieved a total profit of17910.40 billion yuan, an increase of 12 1 billion yuan over the previous year, with a year-on-year increase of 7.24%. The overall R&D capability of the food industry has been continuously improved, and the efficiency of R&D and achievement transformation has been higher, which has opened up a new space for value creation. Therefore, under this great development trend, the major of food science and engineering is a very good choice with great development potential. Including you, but there are fewer choices. Generally speaking, the Food and Drug Administration and the Customs have higher requirements for academic qualifications. People around you still choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination. The employment of this major is not worrying, but the low post salary is also a consideration.
