Why study Textile Engineering?Textiles touch today’s world in every sphere. The most obvious use of textiles is the clothes we wear,but in addition textiles are found in drapery, upholstery and other furnishings. Going even further,textiles are used extensively in automobiles, aircraft, spacecraft, ships and boats. Medical textilesinclude a whole range of uses, such as hernia meshes, artificial knee caps and other prosthetic devices,heart valves etc. Textiles are used in the construction industry, as geotextiles to prevent soil erosionand in diverse other ways.

The Sri Lankan garment industry is the largest export industry in Sri Lanka, with a major portion of thenation’s export revenue coming through this industry. The curriculum of the textile engineering coursehas been tailored to gear the student to face the challenges of this industry with confidence andcontribute towards moving our industry on the hi-tech, upmarket route. The industry caters to aworldwide market, and the resulting challenges due to the changes in the global scene, together withthe need to integrate information technology, communication and management skills, make textileengineering one of the more challenging disciplines available.

Career OpportunitiesBeing the largest foreign exchange earning industry in the country, the garment industry of Sri Lankaemploys over 350,000 personnel. To date the Department has produced nearly 800 graduates, nearly100% of whom are gainfully employed in the industry, and making no small contribution to the growth ofthe industry. At a forum held this year with key representatives from industry it was said that thedemand is greater than the supply, i.e. that there are more jobs available each year than there aregraduates passing out of the University. Thus we see that there are ample career opportunities forgraduates of the Department in the apparel industry and its related feeder industries. Careeropportunities are also available in other textile based industries in the country, and overseas, as well asin quality audit firms and in academia. Graduates holding a BSc Engineering in textiles are able to stepinto any postgraduate degree program in reputed universities worldwide.

Why study Fashion Design?Fashion is the style of dressing that prevails among a group of persons which may last for a limitedperiod of time. Fashion clothing has become a means of expressing individuals and creating identities.Fashion leads the apparel business by its very nature of changing constantly.

The Fashion Design & Product Development degree aims to develop young professionals having acreative flair for new and innovative styles of dressing. This is focussed on a lifestyle and market andaccounts for a large proportion of the value added.

The degree is currently conducted with consultancy assistance from the London College of Fashion.

Career OpportunitiesThe apparel industry of Sri Lanka is promoting a total service package to the overseas markets/retailersfrom Design through Development and Manufacturing to Distribution. In this endeavour, each of thesupplier factories would need to employ a team of Designers that understand the needs of the Fashionbuyer and consumer. Graduates in Fashion Design & Product Development would find employment asFashion Buyers, Designers, Product Developers, Merchandisers, Retailers and Entrepreneurs. Some ofour past graduates have found employment with very prestigious overseas companies and Designerlabels in the Fashion Business.

The Graduates from this course would qualify for postgraduate studies in any reputed institution in theworld engaged in Art & Design

HistoryThe University of Moratuwa, situated 18 km south of Colombo is the Centre of Excellence forengineering, technological and architectural studies in Sri Lanka. The Department of Textile andClothing Technology of the University is one of the Departments in the Faculty of Engineering and is thefirst of its kind in the Sri Lankan University system.

The Department had its humble beginnings in 1976 as a sub-department of the Department ofMechanical Engineering. At that time the course conducted was the National Diploma in Technologycourse in Textile Technology. Seeing the need for graduates in the industry the Department later begana postgraduate diploma to serve as a conversion course for those graduates from other disciplinesinterested in serving in the industry.

The Department of Textile Technology came into being as a fully fledged Department in 1986, with thelaunch of the B.Sc. Engineering Degree Program with the assistance of the Textile Departments of theUniversity of Leeds and the Manchester Metropolitan University. In 2001 the Bachelor of Design coursecame into being, with collaboration from the London College of Fashion of the University for the Arts,London, a specialist in fashion design education. The Department is currently the only Department in

the Faculty of Engineering to run two degree programs.The Department of Textile & Clothing Technology has many “firsts” to its credit:

first ever B.Sc. Engineering degree in Textile & Clothing Technology in Sri Lanka

first ever degree in Fashion Design in the Sri Lankan University system introduced in 2001.

first ever testing house providing testing and quality control services and consultancy to theindustry

first, and so far the only department in the Faculty of Engineering to offer two degree programs

first department in the Faculty of Engineering to take in students directly to the Department onentry to the University.

In a comparatively short period of time the Department of Textile & Clothing Technology has become atrailblazer and the foremost provider of textile education in Sri Lanka.

In addition to academic activities the Department prides itself in its efforts to make an impact on society.The Department undertakes a number of community service projects, among them being an ongoingproject at Sonuththara, Hasalaka, where the staff, both academic and non-academic, students andgraduates regularly visit to provide support in terms of educational material, footwear, sports equipment,computer facilities and academic and sports training to students and staff of the Sonuththara MahaVidyalaya,. In addition the Department has organised several medical camps for the village community,providing them with free medicines and dental care.

8/3/2019 Handbook 2008


23

The Department of Textile & Clothing Technology of the University of Moratuwa is the only Departmentin the Faculty of Engineering to run two degree programs: the B.Sc. Engineering degree in Textile &Clothing Technology, and the B.Des. degree in Fashion Design & Product Development. Both theseprograms have been formulated with the needs of the apparel and textile industry in mind, and periodicrevisions are made to keep the courses relevant to the industry, as well as to provide students with awell-rounded education that will enable them to meet the challenges they would have to face in theworking world. For both degree programs students are admitted directly to the Department on the basis of the Z-scoreat the examination. In addition, an aptitude test is held for the B.Des. course.

The B.Sc. Engineering degree is a four year program running according to a modular system. Eachyear of study is roughly divided into 2 semesters and an additional term (popularly referred to as theJune Term, but not necessarily in June). During Level 1 the student learns the fundamentals ofengineering in common with students of other disciplines, but with a few textile specific modules as well.In the June term students learn the concepts of engineering design and carry out a design project. InLevel 2 the students receive instruction in the fundamentals of textile and apparel manufacture andprocessing, together with a module in computer programming and a number of mathematics modules.Skill development and non-technical modules are held in the June terms of Levels 1 & 2. Level 3consists of only one semester of academic work, and builds on the foundation already laid, with aspectsof management and quality control being taught as well. At Level 3 students begin to specialise in theirchosen stream. At present the two streams available are Textile Process Engineering and ApparelManufacture. At the end of the Level 3 semester students begin a 6-month industrial placement, wherethey gain practical experience in a leading textile or garment manufacturing concern. Following this, atLevel 4, students focus their learning based on the knowledge gained in the previous years as well asthe experiences obtained during industrial training, and also carry out a final year project which issupervised by an academic staff member.

A total of 150 credits are required to successfully complete the degree, of which 135 come from GPAmodules, and 15 from non-GPA modules, which include skill development and non-technical subjects.

The B.Des. course runs under a yearly system, each year comprising 3 terms. During the 3 rd yearstudents have an 8-month period of industrial placement.

The above staff members also function as academic advisors for the respective courses.

Teaching and LearningAll classes in the Department, as well as the time table, have been structured to help the student to getthe optimum benefit. However, it is up to the student to apply himself/ herself in order to get this benefit.At the beginning of each module the student will be provided with the syllabus and learning outcomes ofthe module, so that he/ she can structure his/ her learning accordingly. Visual aids, printed lecture notesand other teaching material are used. Some lecturers will make their notes available on the DepartmentIntranet for access by students.

Please note that what takes place at the lecture is important, and on no account should studentsattempt to stay away from lectures and make do only with the lecture notes. Students should alsosupplement their lecture notes by self-study, referring to materials in the library and on the internet, andby checking out practical aspects for themselves in the laboratories. Students are also encouraged toask questions in class, and to meet the lecturer or instructor to clarify any doubts. Students who do notattend classes will not be allowed to submit in-class assignments for classes they have missed.

Examinations & Assessment StrategyAll students are required to achieve a minimun of 80% attendance at all classes. However, students areadvised that in the case of some modules, particularly laboratory classes, 100% attendance may berequired for the student to get sufficient marks.

Continuous assessment carries 30% upwards of the final mark for the examination. This means that alltutorials, assignments and laboratory work should be completed and submitted, and a required grade

obtained. Students who get less than 40% on the total mark allocated for continuous assessment willnot be permitted to sit for the written examination at the end of the semester. Similarly, students who donot obtain 20% at the written examination will be deemed to have failed the module.

Continuous assessment may take the form of practical reports, viva, spot tests and quizzes,assignments and oral presentations. Assessment criteria may differ for different modules, and it is the

student’s responsibility to ensure that he/she meets the criteria for each module. Late submissions maybe penalised or even rejected.

Students who have medical or other problems are requested to contact an academic advisor at theearliest opportunity and work out some solution with regard to academic activities.

Mentoring & DevelopmentAt present the Department, in collaboration with its alumni association, has organised an annualspeechcraft program to help students to improve their leadership and communication skills. Thisprogram is organised by the Moratuwa University Textile Association in collaboration with the ColomboWest Rotaract club, and run by the Millenium Toastmasters club. Currently it is restricted to 25 students

at a time. Each student is taken under the wing of a toastmaster, who will help him/ her to develop bothleadership and public speaking skills.

In addition to this, the alumni of the Department function as unofficial mentors to the students, and areavailable to help them, especially during their industrial placement.

Students are also given access to follow special English and communication skills development coursesconducted by the English Language Teaching Centre of the University

Student RecordsStudent performance records are maintained by the overall degree course coordinator or coursedirector, and by the respective level/ year coordinators.

Awards & ScholarshipsThe Hirdaramani Memorial Trust Gold Medal is awarded annually to the B.Sc. Engineering student ofthe Department obtaining the best overall GPA of 3.8 or more. If no student meets this criteria the beststudent with an overall GPA of at least 3.7 receives the Hirdaramani Memorial Trust award.
