Learning outcomes
The course Textile Technology will enable students of all specializations to get basic information and knowledge in technological processes of the textile fields. This is knowledge necessary for understanding the materials, processes and products specific to their specialization. The subject is taught in English, English terminology will help students read and study foreign literature during bachelor / diploma work
After attending the course, the student will have a basic idea about the technological processes in textile field. Students will be able to read english literature available in their field during the Bc. / MS. project work. This course will prepare students to read advanced courses in textile field.
Prerequisites
The student is assumed to have a background in physics, chemistry and mathematics. Student should be able to understand the basic scientific principles behind the operations and mechanisms in textile processes.
