Unique
from other engineering disciplines in its dynamic, the packaging
engineering concentration under applied sciences engineering prepares
engineering students by drawing heavily from each of the chemical,
industrial, materials, and mechanical engineering fields. It requires a
strong background in mathematics, chemistry, physics, and computers.
The missions of the packaging engineering program are to seek, through
engineering research, improved functions of the packaging design and
provide sustainable service to the community, based on the results of
the research and educational effort conducted at Rutgers University.
This discipline ensures students will have strong grounding issues of
covering a broad area of expertise from design conceptualization all the
way to product deployment. These broad areas of expertise can be
applied in many different industrial fields: the pharmaceutical
industry, the food industry, the cosmetic industry, and the industry for
medical devices among many others.
Nearly every product purchased--from soap to soda, from CDs to
cough
syrup, comes in a package that's been designed, transported, and
delivered by its manufacturer. The success of today's
multibillion-dollar packaged goods industry depends in large part on the
specialized
expertise of packaging engineers. The packaging engineering program
continues to meet the needs of this dynamic industry by preparing
students highly valued among leading employers for their creativity,
analytical and problem solving skills, and keen attention to detail.
