Welcome to Textile Department

Textile Engineering deals with the application of scientific and engineering principles to the design and control of all aspects of fibre, textile and apparel processes, products, and machinery. The curriculum for this course includes natural and man-made materials, interaction of materials with machines and the other engineering disciplines such as mechanical and electrical engineering. Additionally textile engineers are given experience and practice on job training.
