AACC International Forms Education Division

St. Paul, Minn. (June 14, 2005) – Educators who teach cereal food science and safety now have a new resource to aid in advancement of their field through the newly developed AACC International Education Division.

The purpose of the Education Division is to improve the quality, scope, currency, and relevance of education/training in that portion of food science dealing with cereal grains, cereal processing, and cereal based foods, said Khalil Khan, a professor of cereal and food sciences at North Dakota State University who led the efforts to create the Education Division.

“This Division will provide a forum where educators from all sectors of our membership can meet for the purpose of discussing the needs and opportunities related to improving and expanding the education of cereal food scientists,” Khan said. “We usually assume that when we teach, our students learn. But is this true? The Education Division will help educators assess whether their students are learning what they teach and show the best ways to achieve and assess student learning,” he added.

Any member of AACC International interested in education is eligible for AACC International Education Division Membership. More information on this and other AACC International Divisions is available at: www.aaccnet.org/divisions 

AACC International is an organization of professionals who contribute to the research, development, and processing of grains and grain-based products.
