About

The Department of Food Science and Technology was established under the name of the Department of Food Industries, where planning began to be established with the start of the establishment of the Higher Institute of Technology under Law No. (69) for the year 1976 AD, which included a specialist in environmental science and medical laboratories. The Food Industries Department was established two years after the establishment of the Institute, which It was merged according to Resolution No. 745 regarding the restructuring of universities issued in 1991 with the Higher Engineering School of Sebha University under the name of the College of Engineering and Technical Sciences in Brak.
