Interview with a Food Technology and Chemical Engineering student

YOEURN Chetra (21) is in his fourth year at International University, majoring in Food Chemistry. When he was in high school, he really liked science subjects and he was advised by his chemistry teacher to take this major. The science sector and food sector are booming in Cambodia and food is needed in local markets and around the world. The things he really likes about his major are laboratory work, sample analysis and research.
As for the workload, he says that he prepared a weekly schedule because he has joined a research group and so has extra work such as sample collection, analysis, data analysis and writing reports for this group.
The subjects he likes best are Food Additives and Toxicology, Food Chemistry and Food Processing; those subjects are really important in Food Chemistry.
The major more than met his expectations because it also offered technology teaching and other opportunities, so students would be advised to look at this major because it matters. Chetra wants to pursue his Master’s Degree before he is going to look for a job.
