Bachelor of Science [B.S] Textile Engineering

  • The Textile Engineering Program is an interdisciplinary curriculum drawing on diverse science and engineering principles. Textile Engineering students develop a unique background, which allows them to pursue undergraduate research, summer internship experiences, and design projects ranging from artificial blood vessel development to the design of novel water filtration units for remote villages to structures to protect astronauts from radiation while on the moon. The program offers small class sizes with personal attention from faculty. In addition, in the last three years, graduates have had nearly 100 percent placement into full-time employment or graduate school. Compared to the rest of NC State, the Wilson College of Textiles has the highest percentage of students participating in its scholarship programs. Indeed, more than 50 percent of all textile engineering students receive scholarship support! 
  • The TE curriculum provides a broad base of fundamental engineering courses as a foundation for studies in textile engineering. There are three concentrations in the TE Program
    • Information Systems Design: Whether one is controlling the latest machines or managing a company's inventory and supply chain, computer information systems make the world go. This concentration provides the student with the use of database information systems and is linked with Industrial Engineering, which allows most of the students to minor in IE while some choose to minor/double major in Computer Science.
    • Product Engineering: This concentration focuses on the design of new and innovative products and is the most multi-disciplinary and flexible. Students may concentrate on specific areas of interest including bio-medical materials, sports textiles, and composites. Some students in this concentration choose to double major in Biomedical Engineering while others minor in Material Science.
    • Chemical Processing: This concentration is designed to combine both Textile and Chemical Engineering to develop chemical process improvement engineers for industries dealing with fibers and polymers.
