Learning outcomes |
Learn about materials and processes of textile technology Learn about the concept of fabric and the weave parameters Know the weaves of simple fabrics, colour effects and patterns Learn about the technical parameters of fabrics, their analysis methodology and influence on performance
The student should develop skills for recognize and know how to apply the textile materials, for recognize and analyze the production flows of textile chain and for understand the equipments operation. The student must have capacity to draw patterns of warp and weft fabrics, in simple fabrics, fundamental weaves and the derived from these; to analyze and identify structural parameters of fabrics and relate to the influence on performance
