The field of "Food Science and Engineering" has seen a recent trend towards "Food Biotechnology". This branch focuses on the use of living cells to produce food. It leverages different seeds to produce and modify the texture of raw foods, resulting in products with enhanced shelf life. This discipline provides a comprehensive understanding of the biotechnological processes involved in food production and preservation.

Understanding the control mechanisms governing various processes is the primary focus of this specialization. The role of engineering mathematics is crucial in comprehending these subjects. This field encompasses modern and optimal control, digital control, modeling and simulation in chemical engineering, and the application of artificial intelligence in chemical engineering. These specialized subjects form the core of this trend, providing a comprehensive understanding of the intricate dynamics involved in process control.

A Ph.D. in Mathematics encompasses two primary approaches: 1. **Pure Mathematics**: This approach delves into various trends such as Analysis, Algebra, and Geometry, and fields including Groups, Functional Analysis, Harmonic Analysis, Hormonal Groups, Topological Groups, Dynamical Systems, Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations, and Probability Theory. 2. **Applied Mathematics**: This approach focuses on areas such as Numerical Analysis, Operations Research, Numerical Methods in Linear Algebra, Numerical Solutions of Functional Equations, Random Processes, and Boundary Value Problems. These approaches provide a comprehensive understanding of both theoretical and practical aspects of mathematics, equipping students with the skills to tackle complex mathematical problems and applications.

Environmental engineering is an interdisciplinary field that necessitates the integration of physical, chemical, and biological principles with engineering methodologies to safeguard and restore the environment. This field amalgamates lessons from diverse disciplines to establish a program with a robust foundation in science and engineering. The Environmental Engineering Science Program emphasizes chemical and biological processes, encompassing areas such as water quality, environmental pollution, remediation and control of hazardous materials, contaminants affecting human health, environmental biotechnology, and environmental conservation. This discipline plays a crucial role in preserving our planet's health and sustainability.

The objective is to explore the interplay between rural and urban areas, focusing on rural planning and development, the revitalization and future prospects of villages, and the factors driving migration. Other areas of interest include rural health and recreation, environmental conservation, transportation, and the quality of life and economic conditions of rural populations. This comprehensive approach aims to provide a holistic understanding of rural life and its relationship with urban environments.
