A survey study was conducted with the students (totally 174 students) of Food Engineering Department in Namık Kemal University Agricultural Faculty in order to find answers for such questions as the following: What do our students think about the efficiency of education they take in order to be a food engineer with a foundation that is appropriate for this definition? What are their expectations from departments regarding education? According to the survey results, these points were observed that most of the students of the department chose food engineering department consciously, and that 46% of our department's students put our university in the first five ranks in the preference list of universities; moreover, they agreed on the following issues: laboratory conditions do not satisfy the students, and they should be better; the number of the students accessed to the department is excessive. By and large, it was observed that although the students hold a view about employment potential of their jobs, they are reluctant to work in their own jobs. They also demand that the courses should be supported with current issues. They reported that the present practices about the food control are insufficient.
