Textile Engineering stands at the crossroads of tradition and innovation, blending centuries-old techniques with cutting-edge technology to create products that shape our everyday lives. Bangladesh's Readymade Garment (RMG) industry has been pivotal in driving economic growth and development. Its significance lies in its contribution to export revenue and its role as a major employer. As a member of the textile community, it gives me immense pleasure to share that Bangladesh’s readymade garment export procured $46.99 billion during the fiscal year 2022-23, which is 84.59% of total export earnings, recording a growth of 10.27% from the previous year.
At the Department of Textile Engineering of Uttara University, we take pride in nurturing the next generation of textile engineers who will drive this dynamic industry forward. Our curriculum is designed to provide a complete understanding of textile materials, processes, and applications while emphasizing sustainability, innovation, and global perspectives. Through hands-on laboratory experiences, industry internships, and research opportunities, our students gain the knowledge and skills needed to excel in a rapidly evolving industry.
The department offers a comprehensive educational journey supported by cutting-edge labs and a faculty of committed members with extensive academic and industry backgrounds. Our dedicated faculty members are experts in their fields and are committed to providing a supportive learning environment where students can thrive academically and professionally. They bring a wealth of industry experience and academic expertise to the classroom, ensuring that our students receive a well-rounded education that prepares them for successful careers in textile engineering and related fields. Furthermore, our department maintains strong partnerships with industry leaders and research institutions, enabling us to stay at the forefront of technological advancements and industry trends. These collaborations provide our students with valuable opportunities for networking, professional development, and real-world application of their skills. I am confident that our department will significantly contribute to enhancing textile education in Bangladesh.
As a proud member of this esteemed department, I invite everyone to explore our website and visit our campus to learn more about the exciting opportunities available at the Department of Textile Engineering, Uttara University. Together, let us embark on a journey of discovery, innovation, and excellence in textile engineering.
The Department of Textile Engineering at Uttara University offers a comprehensive B.Sc. in Textile Engineering, a 4-year undergraduate program for students with a science background who have completed 12 years of education or hold a textile diploma. Enrollment is merit-based through a competitive admission test, welcoming students regardless of race, color, nationality, religion, or sex. The program features a blend of theoretical and practical courses, encompassing basic sciences and various engineering disciplines such as mechanical, electrical, production and industrial engineering, and computer sciences, alongside core textile engineering courses.
The curriculum also includes courses in the Bengali Language and Literature, Bangladesh Studies, and the History of the Emergence of Bangladesh, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared to serve and integrate into society. Emphasizing sustainability, the program educates students on the environmental and societal impacts of textile processes, promoting sustainable practices in their professional lives. Seven well-equipped labs support the practical aspects of the coursework, and students gain real-world experience through multiple visits to textile mills during their studies. An eight-week industrial training component bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. Additionally, a project work component introduces students to textile research, facilitating opportunities for higher studies abroad. The program is instructed in English, with an English course in the first year to enhance graduates' global communication skills.
Textile engineering applies scientific principles to the manufacturing and development of various fabrics, aiming to design and control all aspects of textiles, from raw materials to finished products. The readymade garments industry, a cornerstone of Bangladesh's economy, has seen remarkable success over the past two decades, becoming a multi-billion-dollar export sector that accounts for 81% of the country's total export earnings.
To meet the industry's demand for highly skilled professionals with technological and managerial expertise, the department has dedicated and experienced faculty members with global exposure. The program aims to develop graduates who are creative, adaptable problem-solvers capable of taking on responsibilities in management, R&D, and competitiveness, using current engineering tools to design innovative textiles and processes. The department continues to strengthen its reputation as a center of excellence in scientific research and technological advancement.
