Textile Engineering Technology prepares students to work in a global industry that includes fiber engineered products for medical, geotextiles, architectural, fiber reinforced composites, and traditional apparel and home furnishing applications. Problem solving using the understanding of textile product and process and an understanding of the global textile/apparel business (including sourcing) are the backbone of this program. Career paths for graduates will be enhanced by selecting a concentration option from the following:

1. Product Development – national /international
2. Quality Assurance & Assessment
3. Textile Manufacturing Management
4. (Pre) Masters in Business Administration

Another dimension of the program mission is to educate and graduate fully integrated individuals who possess the technical and social competence and confidence to succeed in professional practice and advanced education, to be life-long learners, and to exercise responsible citizenship.

The revised curriculum meets the overall 2005-2006 ABET guidelines [Technology Accreditation Commission] for Engineering Technology programs.
