The Faculty has trained specialists in food production technology and machinery since 1930, and in 1997 it started a new specialization in renovation of production means.

Departments:

• Food Products Technology
• Food and Refrigerating Machinery
• Machining Technology
• Theory of Machines, Mechanisms and Machine Parts
• Descriptive Geometry and Drawing

Specialities:

• Fish Products Technology
• Catering Technology
• Machines and Apparatuses of Food Production
• Food Engineering for Small-Scale Enterprises
• Renovation of Material Production Means
• Food Biotechnology

During their studies, prospective specialists take a wide range of technical, chemical and biological subjects, have a certain practical experience on board fishing vessels at sea and at fish and food processing enterprises on land.
Priority is given to expanding resource-saving techniques, ecologically safe production processes, and highly effective fodder additives.
The Food Products Technology Department was historically one of the first departments of the University. It uses all the classical traditions in training specialists for seafood processing.
The Department awards a Bachelor's degree in "Food products technology" giving the holder an opportunity to work at food producing enterprises of any branch.
Having obtained a Bachelor's degree in Food Products Technology, it is possible to continue studying for two years or for one more year to get a Master degree in "Storage and processing of grain", "Bread, confectionery and macaroni", "Sugar containing substances", and "Fish and fish products" at any Russian university.
The faculty offers the following Master degree courses:
• Seafood technology;
• Food preserving technology;
• Food freezing technology.
Specialist diploma is awarded in "Fish and fish products technology", "Catering technology" and "Food biotechnology".
Food and Refrigerating Machinery Department trains engineers in "Food engineering" awarding diplomas in two specializations: "Machines and apparatuses of food production" and "Food engineering for small-scale enterprises". The graduates are qualified to design and operate highly efficient machinery for various food industries, as well as of complex mechanized and automated production lines. They are capable of accomplishing technical policy when organizing small-scale enterprises for food processing.
The Machining Technology Department trains engineers in a new speciality of Renovation of Material Production Means. They will become qualified specialists for the investigation, development and application of highly efficient technologies, technical equipment and materials while reproducing and increasing resources and other objects of material production, as well as for conversion and unitization.
The department also carries out investigations in the field of tribological processes in mechanical treatment of materials and modern non-traditional techniques of machining with instruments containing moving blades, electro-physical methods of materials treatment and restoration and strengthening of machine parts.
All the departments of the Faculty have a wide range of modern laboratories and literature.
Teaching is closely connected with research. The faculty also offers opportunities at doctorate levels in Technology of Meat, Milk and Fish Products.
The room for term and final projects development was opened on September' 1' 2003. It was re-equipped and now offers 14 work stations.
Students of all specialities can use this facility in their work. Equipment and soft-ware provided allow graphical works starting with АО format.
