The academic content of the Bachelor of Science in Textile Engineering is designed to provide students with comprehensive knowledge and skills related to all aspects of the textile industry. The curriculum includes various disciplines such as textile technologies, materials science, manufacturing methods and product design. The program usually lasts four years and provides students with an in-depth knowledge of basic sciences, engineering principles and more specific textile engineering subjects.
Basic Sciences and Mathematics: The first year of the program usually begins with basic science courses such as physics, chemistry and mathematics. These courses provide the theoretical foundation necessary to develop students' ability to analyze and solve engineering problems.
Engineering Fundamentals: Alongside the basic sciences, students are introduced to areas such as engineering design, computer-aided design (CAD) and engineering mechanics. These courses are designed to enhance students' ability to plan, develop and implement engineering projects.
Textile Technologies: Textile fibers, yarn production, weaving, knitting, nonwoven production techniques, dyeing, printing and finishing processes are covered in detail. Students learn the properties of different textile materials, processing techniques and the effects of these processes on end products.
Materials Science: These courses provide knowledge about the structural properties and mechanical behavior of textile materials. Students learn how to test, classify and optimize materials for different usage scenarios.
Quality Control and Standards: Quality control processes of textile products, international standards and compliance with these standards are covered. Students gain the necessary skills to evaluate product quality and apply continuous improvement techniques.
Sustainable and Innovative Textile Applications: Issues such as sustainable textile production, recycling and innovative textile materials are becoming increasingly important in order to reduce environmental impacts. Students are informed about green technologies and green production methodologies.
Internship and Practice Opportunities: In addition to theoretical education, students are offered internship and practicum opportunities to gain real-time experience in industrial settings. These experiences help students develop practical skills that will make it easier for them to find a job after graduation.
This comprehensive curriculum ensures that students graduate with all the necessary knowledge and skills in the field of textile engineering and prepares them for a successful career in various fields of industry.
