We all want to wear smart and look up-to-date. Hence, the demand for quality and unique clothing has increased. This has resulted in improving the scope of Textile Engineering.
Fashion is an industry that will never go out of fashion. Hence, one can expect a speedy growth in textile industry. In fact, textile is one of the flourishing industries, catering to the needs and demands of both domestic and international market.
TEXTILE ENGINEERING – AN INTRODUCTION
Also known as textile technology, Textile Engineering studies both chemical and physical principles from engineering and scientific methodologies, which are implemented for processing and production of textile fabrics and fibers.
Considered to be the most innovative field in a scientific realm, Textile Engineering includes research and development, manufacturing and merchandising. The knowledge acquired during Textile Engineering courses are then utilized for the processing and production of all types of textile fabric, yarns and textile fibers.
Textile engineers, on job, not only apply innovative techniques for producing quality fabrics, but also work towards improving existing textile fibers. Textile Engineering involves process engineering, R&D, technical sales, quality control, production control and corporate management.
