Learning outcomes
This course will enable the undergraduate student across all specializations to get a basic idea about the technological processes in textile field. This is essential for their understanding of the material, process and product specific to their area of specialization. The terminologies in English will help them to read and follow literature available in their field during the Bc. of Ms. project 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. They can correlate the effect of back processes to the observations in textile material in their discipline. This will help them to get a comprehensive idea about the history of materials which are used in various applications of textiles. 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 e.g. polymer materials, mechanics of solids and fluids, chemical bonding theories etc.

Assessment methods and criteria
Combined examination, Student's performance analysis

Credits: Preparing of seminar work and its presentation. Exam: Combined form.
