INTRODUCTION
The B.Sc in Textile Engineering degree course of the Primeasia University has been designed
for students to acquire sufficient understanding of the principles and techniques of the Textile
Science. It will provide students with a coordinated understanding, comprehensive
knowledge and expertise in all disciplines of Textile. Lectures along with practical classes,
seminars, in-plant training, interactive small group teaching and tutorials will be part of the
Bachelor of Textile Engineering Program.
Textiles are the basic needs of human being. From the down of the industrial revaluation
todays age of high technology, textile manufacturing has been a leading industry in the
world. Today, people dont realise how much demand for employment there is in the textile
industry and those industries which use textile materials, i.e. biomedical, aerospace,
automotive and sporting goods. Due to shortage of textile graduates, almost all get three to
five job offers.
The textile industry has been playing a dominant role for the development of the economy of
Bangladesh. Export oriented readymade garment industry of the country has attained
phenomenal growth over the last decade. It has enormous potentials for earning foreign
exchange.
Presently the engineers and managers of the industrial concerns are under constant pressure
of time, cost and maintaining the quality of products and services. The research and
development of a product, its manufacturing and marketing have to be achieved within a
short period. Thus engineers are now facing diverse challenges. New generations of
engineering graduates are therefore on demand. Besides engineering and technological skills,
they must posses leadership and managerial capabilities.
Hi-Techis an accurate description of todays textile industry, with output embracing not only
clothing and household items, but also an increasing range of diverse industrial and leisure
products.
Highly specialized advanced textile materials are rapidly becoming crucial components in a
wide range of applications for the emergency services (fire-fighting, air, sea rescue etc.),
medical science, civil and mechanical engineering, marine exploration, sport, recreation and
aerospace. In fact, textiles are involved in just about every facet of modern life.
In todays rapidly changing fashion scene with seasons measured in weeks rather than in
months, a quick response to demand is vital. This has been made possible by the continuing
development of new fibres and innovative manufacturing methods. The advent of
computerization and microelectronic technology has brought about a second revolution in the
textile industry, introducing sophisticated high speed manufacturing systems capable of
keeping pace with rapidly evolving world markets.
There are in addition, many special applications of textiles, which stem from the heightened
public awareness of environmental factors. Textile products, made at low energy cost from
renewable resources are now making a considerable impact around the world, combating soil
erosion by substrate stabilization, providing communication infrastructure in remote areas
and supporting irrigation systems in developing countries.

Incomplete (I)
The grade I is given only when a students work is satisfactory in quality,
but due to reason beyond his/her control, the work has not been completed.
The missing work may be a major quiz, a final examination, a term paper,
thesis or other work. It is not given in lieu of an F grade. The instructor/course
teacher will stipulate in writing, at the time the grade is given the conditions
under which the I may be removed. This temporary grade of I is nonpunitive and semester hours for the course are not considered in the
computation of the quality-point average. Removal must be within one
calendar year after the I is assigned, or it remains permanently on the
students record. The grade I is not assigned if the student must retake the
course. In the event a student who earns a grade of I decides to retake the
course, the student is required to pay for that course a second time. In any
case, he/she will not be eligible for a scholarship/award.

ii)

Withdrawn(W)
If a student is unable to sit for a semester final examination due to serious
illness or serious accident or any genuine reason, he/she may apply to the
Head of the Department for withdrawal from the semester of course/courses
within a week after the end of the semester final examination. The application
must be supported by Medical Certificate. The student will be allowed to sit

/var/www/apps/conversion/tmp/scratch_6/319099209.doc

for course final examination within 2 weeks of the beginning of following

semester. In this case final examination will be on 50% marks and rest 50%
will be entered from the record of continuous assessment scored earlier.
iii)

Withheld (WT).
The result of a student may be withheld for nonpayment of any fees,
misconduct.

Exemption (E): Students may be allowed to get exemption on few foundation level
courses. Decision on exemption must be approved by the adviser or the Head of the
department concerned. Course teachers consent will be required in this regard.
The assessment in laboratory / field work courses is made through observation of the students
at work in class, viva voce during laboratory hours and quizzes.
A students performance is measured by the number of credits that he /she has completed
satisfactorily, and the weighted average of the grade point that he/she has maintained. A
minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) is required to be maintained for satisfactory progress
and minimum number of credits should be acquired D or a higher grade will be continued as
credits earned by him/her. If a student obtains an F grade in any course in any semester he/she
will have to repeat the course. If a student obtains a grade other than F in course, he/she will
not be allowed to repeat the course for the purpose of grade improvement. F grades will not
counted for GPA calculation but shat be mentioned on the Grade Sheet and transcript.
The GPA (Grade point Average) is calculated as follows:
GPA= (Grade Pints * Credits)/ Credits.

ATTENDANCE:
All the students are expected to attend classes regularly. The Primeasia University believes
that regular attendance is essential for effective learning. A student is required to attend at
least 70% of all classes held in every course in order to sit for the final examination.
ABSENCE DURING SEMESTER
A student shall not be absent from quizzes, tests, mid semester examinations etc., during the
semester. Such absence will naturally lead to reduction in pints/ marks, which shall count
towards the final grade. Absence in the final examination held at the end of each academic
semester will result in F grades.
AWARD OF DEGREE
To obtain a Bachelors degree from Department of Textile Engineering, Primeasia University
a student must successfully complete a total of 176 credits, among which some are university
required courses, known as General Education (GED) courses and the remaining are the
departmental courses.

Program Description
Keeping the above facts in view, the undergraduate curriculum of Textile Engineering has
been designed. The emphasis is given on developing analytical as well as application skills
along with the requisite technical competence so that graduates are technically well-trained
and sufficiently flexible to deal with unpredictable future technical and managerial problems.
The department of Textile Engineering belongs to the School of Engineering and Technology
of Primeasia University. The university opens this department with a view to produce
competent textile graduates to meet the growing demand for such manpower in the countrys
textile and clothing sector.
Bachelor of Textile Engineering is a 4-years programme spread over 12 semesters. The
degree (B.Sc. in Textile Engineering) will be awarded after successful completion of courses
of 176 credit hours. The courses include basic sciences, electrical and electronic engineering,
mechanical engineering, management, Bangladesh Studies, Sociology and Computer
application in Textiles, English language and core textile subjects. Students have the option to
select any one from among Yarn manufacturing, Fabric manufacturing, Wet processing and
Garment Technology as their special subject in the final year. Highly qualified full time
teachers having long experience in industry and teaching and several experienced part-time
teachers from BUET, Dhaka University, College of Textile Technology, BJRI, TIDC, BMI
and TTTC as well as from textile trade and industry serve the department. Teachers in
Computer Science and Engineering, BBA and related subject of the university will conduct
the course in their respective areas.
The department will have well equipped Textile quality control laboratory, Wet processing,
Yarn manufacturing, Fabric manufacturing workshop and Garment technology laboratory. It
is to be noted that before setting up the laboratories there is an arrangement to do experiments
and practical in laboratories of College of Textile Technology, BSTI, TTTC, TIDC. Students
will often be taken to different textile industries and various industrial laboratories for visit
and for doing some of their practical work.
Our links with the textile industry are strong a fact clearly demonstrated by the number of
companies who have contributed significantly in terms of infrastructure development of the
department and by the quality of the external speakers and industrialists who will regularly
visit us to share their expertise with both staff and students.
Endeavour is on to establish a linkage programme with other reputed universities like RMIT
(Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology), UMIST (University of Manchester Institute of
Science & Technology), University of Leeds, NCSU (North Carolina Sate University),
University of Philadelphia, so that student can transfer credits to foreign universities and can

/var/www/apps/conversion/tmp/scratch_6/319099209.doc

have their degrees jointly awarded. Moreover our undergraduates will be qualified for the
Associateship of the International Textile Institute, Manchester, U.K. Endeavour is on to
establish our department on an international standard in order to fulfill the criterion of
affiliation with the International Textile Institute. They will also be qualified for the
membership of Institute of Textile Engineering & Technologies (ITET) Bangladesh.
Essential books on textiles have been procured and stocked in the University library and this
process will continue further. The Department is planning to subscribe to four reputed
journals (JTI, TRJ, JTN, and JSDC) on textiles and regular magazines published from Textile
Institute and other International textile publication houses.
Each Semester we will welcome around 50 to 100 new undergraduates with diverse academic
backgrounds from our country. We are able to boast of a dynamic yet friendly atmosphere in
which students are encouraged to develop their individual potentials. As our students, you
would be assigned a personal tutor someone to turn to for help and guidance, should you
need either academic support or mentoring. We feel this important in establishing an
objective teacher-student relationship.
