The Bachelor of Science in Textile Engineering aims to provide students with a comprehensive set of knowledge and skills about the textile industry and its production processes. The main focus of the program is to teach the engineering principles applied in the design, production, processing and delivery of textile materials to the end user. Students learn both theoretical knowledge and practical applications in depth throughout this program, making them sought-after professionals in the industry.
Interdisciplinary fields such as materials science, chemistry, mechanical engineering and industrial engineering are utilized in the education process. Courses cover topics such as textile fibers, fabric production, dyeing and finishing techniques, textile design, textile testing methods and quality control. There is also an increasing focus on sustainable production techniques and environmentally friendly textile practices, as the textile industry is undergoing a major transformation towards reducing its environmental impact.
Teaching methods include theoretical lectures as well as laboratory work, project-based learning, industry collaborations and technical trips in real production environments. Such activities give students the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge to real world problems and develop their problem solving, teamwork and communication skills.
Textile Engineering graduates have the opportunity to pursue careers in a variety of business fields such as textile mills, clothing manufacturing companies, companies producing technical textiles and companies producing textile machinery. They can also work in research and development departments, quality control and testing laboratories, and even in marketing and sales. By specializing in the development of innovative textile products and processes, they can become leaders in the industry.
Internship and practice opportunities are also an important part of the program. Students have the chance to do one or more industrial internships during their studies. These internships give students real work experience in the industry and make it easier for them to find a job after graduation. It also allows students to expand their professional networks and make more informed decisions about their career goals.
