About Textile Faculty

Textile Engineering is a profession that deals with the application of scientific and engineering principles to the design and control of all aspects of fibers, yarns, woven and knitted materials, technical textiles, nonwovens, products, and machinery. The Textile Faculty aims to work towards education and research excellence of that institution contributing to the goal of becoming an entrepreneurial university. In this regard, the faculty believes that the education and research excellence of the universities started by the institution and should play a greater role in producing citizens with knowledge, skills (soft and hard), attitudes, etc. The key task expected from technological institutions is to produce qualified professionals and transfer them to the industry and society.
