Textile Engineering

The Indian textile industry is in rapid progress and is offering huge revenue to the country. It has increased the need for engineering graduates who have the skills in engineering, design, chemistry, management, computers, apparel, marketing/sales, and quality control.

Textile Engineering uses the principles of engineering with specific knowledge of textile equipment and processes. The course curriculum also draws knowledge from other engineering disciplines including mechanical, electrical and industrial and chemical engineering.

Textile industry basically involves manufacturing of various types of fabrics both natural and synthetic as well as of production machinery and application of new technology. The industry has categorized in three major areas of work namely research and development, manufacturing and merchandising.
