4.00 Credits
The processes necessary for the manufacture of continuous filament, staple, novelty, bulk and stretch yarns are studied. Staple yarn manufacture, including the processing of natural and man-made fibers on the carded cotton, combed cotton, woolen and worsted staple yarn manufacturing system is covered. Quality-control procedures are emphasized. The laboratory experience exposes the student to all aspects of fiber to yarn formation. Prerequisite: TEXT-101
-
3.00 Credits
This course will focus on the following performance properties of textiles: strength, elongation, thermo-physiological comfort, sensorial-comfort body movement, aesthetic qualities, appearance, maintenance properties, and health/safety/protection properties. The process of achieving desired fabric properties through the use of appropriate fiber-, yarn- and fabric-production technology will be analyzed through theoretical studies and production laboratory exercises. Any student who has received credit for TEXT-113, WEAV- 201, KNIT-201, and/or TEXT-321 may not take this course Prerequisite: TEXT-101
-
3.00 Credits
The study of the major industrial fabric applications, constructions and future trends. The performance requirements for each application will be related to the selection of industrial fibers, yarn and fabric constructions and fabric finishing, coating and laminating. Prerequisites: TEXT-307
-
3.00 Credits
Focuses upon the unique problems and considerations of servicing the residential and contract textile-products market composed of upholstered furniture, window/wall coverings, carpets/rugs and furnishing accessories. Special textile requirements mandated by government agencies, building codes and industry-performance standards for residential, public and institutional interior spaces are emphasized. Prerequisite: TEXT-101
-
3.00 Credits
This lecture-based course will focus on coloration techniques, including dyeing and printing; as well as aesthetic and functional finishing. Any student who has previously received credit for PRINT-305 and/or TEXTCHM-242 may not take this course for credit. Fall only. Prerequisite: TEXT-201
-
3.00 Credits
The objective evaluation of fabric-mechanical properties influencing hand and performance are explored. Comfortcontributing qualities, such as thermal conductivity and air permeability, are also addressed. The influence of fabricmechanical properties on formability and seaming is assessed with special attention to their role in automated assembly. Prerequisite: TEXT-307 or TEXT-331
-
4.00 Credits
The interrelationship of fiber selection, yarn processing, fabrication and finishing parameters is used to predict and measure fabric performance for specific end uses. A laboratory experience in textile product evaluation provides practical application of theory. The impact of textile-related government regulations is also emphasized. Prerequisite: TEXT-101
-
3.00 Credits
The cost of materials, labor, overhead and waste is studied in relation to textile production and finishing. Case studies illustrate cost systems used in textile mills. Interrelationships between labor, machines and facilities are analyzed to determine their relative importance in cost-reduction programs. Costing factors for domestic and imported fabrics are considered. Prerequisites: WEAV-201, KNIT-201
-
3.00 Credits
A two-week study tour in the textile printing areas of France, Switzerland and Northern Italy introduces Textile Design and Engineering Technology majors to the expertise of important European printers, screen engravers and studios in the areas of printed textile design, style, color and printing technology. Visits to the two important French historic textile museums and other related textile plants are also included. Prerequisite: PRINT- 315 or PRINT- 301 or PRINT- 305 or permission of the dean of the school
-
3.00 Credits
Evaluations of fabrics and materials intended for end use in home furnishings are covered in this course. The use of physical testing to predict performance potential is emphasized. The use of instrumentations in the evaluation of surface and color change is presented. Prerequisite: TEXT-307
