You have the ability to undertake problem identification, formulation and solution.
Learning outcomes:
After completion of the course, students will become aware of the technical aspects of the fabric formation, fabric properties and follows:
Prerequisites process to produce woven fabric design and structure.
Essential features to construct a fabric design.
Different characteristics of fabrics.
Identify the manufacturing process at sector and enterprise level.
Outline the fundamentals of the weaving process.
Course requirements:
Must have basic knowledge of Weaving, Properties of Fibers, Yarns & Fabrics are important
Exams:
There will be two class tests one will be before midterm exam and another one after midterm exam based on class lectures.
A one hour thirty minutes midterm examination and two hour final examination administered by the University Examinations Office will be held after lectures have ceased. The final examination covers lectures and assigned textbook readings. Nearer the time, you will be advised of the date, time and venue of the examination by the Examinations Office.
