Textile Engineering

Hello, my name is Ece Kalaycı. I am working as a Research Assistant in Pamukkale University Textile Engineering Department. I am also a doctoral student. Our department has been providing education and training on undergraduate level since 1995. Our department has been providing education 30% in English since 2010. Students who come to our department receive English preparatory education, if their language level is not sufficient. In addition, our department has MÜDEK Accreditation. In our department, as in other engineering departments, mostly science, basic mathematics and basic engineering courses are offered in the first two years. During the last two years, the main focus is on Textile Engineering field courses. There are also technical and social elective courses offered in our department. There are four laboratories and two workshops in our department. These are physical textile examination laboratory, textile finishing laboratory, yarn and knitting laboratory, garment workshop, weaving hall and textile printing workshop, and nano technology and functional textiles laboratory. We carry out the majority of the textile field courses and applications in these laboratories and workshops. At the same time, we carry out the applications of common courses such as general physics and general chemistry in the application laboratories. In addition to these, we actively use the computer laboratories of our faculty in courses that include technical drawing software, programming languages, and Office Programs. Our department has exchange and bilateral relations agreements with 12 different countries such as Spain, Lithuania, Romania, Netherlands, France, Japan and Thailand. Our students can study in these countries for one or two semesters. Career days are held at the end of each semester in our department. Thanks to career days, our students have the chance to have a job interview or even find a job before they graduate. Companies from Denizli, Istanbul, Izmir, Bursa and various provinces attend our career days. Our students have the opportunity to apply for a job and conduct job interviews with these companies. After graduating from our department, we can work in various positions in textile companies operating in different fields such as fiber, yarn, weaving, knitting, apparel, printing or dyeing. These positions include production, sales, marketing, quality control and R&D. Also, there are job opportunities for our graduates in companies that produce textile machinery, dyestuffs and auxiliary chemicals. In addition to these, they can also work in public institutions and organizations.
