Preface

New curriculum for B Tech in Textile Technology has been designed to

provide science-based engineering education with a view to produce
quality engineering scientists. The attempt has been made to develop
engineering skill with broad interdisciplinary knowledge, and
simultaneously build a temper for the life long process of learning and
exploring. Apart from foundation courses in the areas of basic science
and engineering sciences, students are offered various core and
elective courses constitute around 57% of the total curriculum. Core
subjects are made more comprehensive and reoriented based on
present day industry needs and higher research. With rapid
technological development, it is also imperative to focus attention on
various upcoming areas. Subject on Engineering Science such as Unit
Operation is integrated with textile sciences. Course curriculum also
provides wider choice of electives to develop niche areas in textiles
and allied fields. To develop intellectual and communication skill
seminar is introduced in two subsequent semesters.
In addition
students project has become more intensive and extended for a span
of two semesters. Present research area encompasses Nano-composite
filament, Structure-property relation in multi-component yarn,
Development of specialty yarn to enhance comfort, Mechanics of
various fabric formation processes, Bandage fabric for treatment of
Edema, Antimicrobial fabric, Aerosol filtration, Sewing thread,
Nonwoven fabric development, Fabric and Sewing thread interaction
in garment formation, Chemical processing of garment, Waste water
management etc.
Department would put in record the invaluable contribution of the faculty members,
members of BOS and Senate in finalizing the curriculum.
