The Curriculum

In response to the needs of industry, the Centre focuses its curriculum on textile engineering and integrates engineering applications throughout the course. The ability to cover diverse aspects of textile engineering in an academically rigorous and industrially relevant manner is a major attraction of the course are:

1. Course Structure

   The curriculum is structured so as to provide adequate groundwork of essential fundamentals on aspects related to Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry in the early stages of the course.
   
   After establishing a secure foundation, the students are introduced to concurrent textile related studies at various levels within the structure of the course in order to integrate basic concepts with advanced aspects of textile engineering. This integration will culminate into specialization in diverse areas of textile engineering. The course structure is designed to enable students to appropriate the interdependence that exists among them thus providing a means by which multidisciplinary skills knowledge may be combined to design, process and manufacture textile production.

2. Project Design Thesis

   The project is the largest module on the course and can be considered as the heart of the course requiring the student to use the relevant resources gleaned from all the taught modules, which can be used to solve an industrial problem or advance a particular area of research.
