B. Sc. in Textile Engineering (TXE)

We place a strong emphasis on the development of our students, equipping them with the skills to innovate, improve, and lead the textile sector, with a particular focus on sustainability. To achieve this objective, we carefully design our curriculum and ensure the provision of appropriate infrastructure. The department currently operates several key laboratories, including Textile Engineering Lab-1 and Textile Engineering Lab-2, both of which are located in the basement of the Academic Building. These labs offer vital resources and facilities for research and hands-on work in textile engineering. In response to the industry's evolving demands, plans are underway to establish a Dyeing Lab. All of our laboratories are comprehensively equipped and meticulously organized to support student learning across various technologies. This infrastructure enables students to effectively engage with these technologies, preparing them to excel in their professional careers. In addition to our in-house laboratories, we maintain strong partnerships with several industry leaders and actively organize industry visits for our students, further enhancing their educational experience and practical expertise.

Textile Engineering Lab 1:

Equipment:

1. Carding

A carding machine, often referred to as the "Heart of Spinning," is a textile device used to disentangle, clean, and align fibers such as cotton or wool. It achieves this by passing the fibers through rotating rollers embedded with fine wire teeth, which comb the fibers to create a continuous web or sliver. This web or sliver is then prepared for subsequent processing into yarn.

2. Draw Frame

The draw frame applies controlled stretching or elongation to the sliver, which aligns the fibers in parallel and reduces its thickness. This process, known as drafting, is accomplished by passing the sliver through a series of drafting rollers that rotate at varying speeds.

3. Ring Frame

A ring frame machine in textiles is a spinning device that utilizes a ring and traveler system to twist and wind loose fibers (roving) into yarn. It is a vital piece of equipment in a textile mill, used to produce yarns of various counts and qualities.

Textile Engineering Lab 2:

Equipment:

1. Count Tester

A "conventional count tester" in textiles is a device used to measure the yarn count, which represents the linear density of the yarn. It determines the weight of a specific length of yarn, with the measurement typically expressed in units such as "tex" or "denier."

2. Simplex

A simplex machine is a textile device that converts drawn slivers into roving. It serves as an intermediate machine between the draw frame and the ring frame in the yarn production process.

3. Power Loom

A machine used to weave fabric from threads is called a loom. Weaving is carried out on looms, which can be either hand-operated or power-operated. Hand-operated looms are referred to as "handlooms," while power-operated looms are known as "power looms."

4. Single Jersey Circular Knitting Machine

A single jersey circular knitting machine is a textile manufacturing device used to produce knitted fabrics using a single set of needles. This machine operates in a circular fashion, creating a continuous, seamless fabric.
