The department started offering BSc Textile in 2013, MSc Textile and Materials Engineering in 2020 and PhD Textile Engineering in 2021 with highly qualified faculty and well-equipped laboratories. BSc Textile Engineering program of the department is accredited by PEC as Level-2 (Washington accord based). There are more than 170 lab scale equipment installed at the department of textile engineering in 16 labs. Experienced faculty and lab staff are working at the textile engineering department. There is 100% job placement for UET Textile graduates. Graduate of the textile engineering department are currently working in some of the top textile mills of the country like Nishat, Sapphire, Interloop, CBL, Artistic, Ibrahim Fibers, Master, MTM, US denim, Cotton web, Gohar, Kamal & TTI as well as in Government Organizations. Department of Textile Engineering is organizing annual International conference on sustainable textile and all Pakistan student competition since 2018. The textile engineering department has organized 8 consecutive annual
international conferences in last eight years and it is the only Textile Engineering Department of
the country to do so. 8th International conference on Sustainable Textile was held on 10th November 2023 along with the All-Pakistan Textile
Sustainability Student Competition at UET Lahore, Faisalabad Campus. These two mega events of textile were attended by around 2000 visitors from industry and academia of the country. For further details visit https://conferences.uet.edu.pk/textile/icst/2021/ .
The textile sector in Pakistan has an overwhelming impact on the economy, contributing 60% to the country’s exports and 46% of the total industrial production. This sector also provides employment opportunities to 45% of country’s workforce, which is one of the highest. In today’s highly competitive global environment, the textile sector needs to upgrade its supply chain, improve productivity, sustainability and maximize the value-addition to be able to survive. It cannot be thought of without competent professionals in the relative field. Faisalabad campus is privileged over other campuses of UET for holding a degree awarding department in Textile field.
BSc Textile Engineering course is based on Outcome Based Education (OBE). The course of study is the composite one and cover all four section of textile.
- Spinning (Yarn Manufacturing)
- Weaving (Fabric Manufacturing)
- Wet Processing (Pre-treatment, Dyeing & Finishing)
- Garment Manufacturing
