Department “Food Engineering”
In 1995, four specialized departments of the Food Faculty of the South Kazakhstan Technical University (SKTU) trained specialists in the following specialties: “Technology of sugary and confectionery substances”, “Technology of fats”, “Technology of canning and food concentrates”, “Technology of wine-making and fermentation” .
In 2003, in connection with the opening of the agro-industrial faculty, these specialties were united together and the department received the name "Technology of food production and refrigeration."
In 2008, the department became part of the Faculty of Light and Food Industry. In 2010, the department was renamed the "Technology of food production." Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor Beysenbayev A.Yu, headed the department. (2003-2008), then by Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Bachov Zh.K. (2008 - 2009), since March 2009, the department has headed by Candidate of Chemical Science, associate professor Urazbayeva Klara Abdyrazakhovna.
In 2015, the department was divided into departments: “Food Engineering” (head of the department Urazbayeva K.A.), Technology, and safety of food products (head of the department Shingissov A.U.).
At the Department of Food Engineering, training is conducted in Kazakh, Russian and English for bachelors in the specialty 5B072800-Technology of processing productions (by branches) and for master students in the specialty 6M072800- Technology of processing productions (by branches). There are 20 teachers in the department, including 11 Candidates of Science, 2 Doctors of PhD, and 12 Masters of Science. State grant of the Ministry of education and science of the Republic of Kazakhstan "Best University teacher" are: candidate of chemical Sciences, associate Professor Urazbayeva K.A.(2014), PhD Serikuly Zh.
