TEXTILE SCIENCE

This course involves the study of fabric such as fiber, yarns, and methods of construction and finishes. Students will apply this information to personal and client use.
In this course I learned:
1. Acquire experience working with a variety of textiles, fibers, and fabrics through hands-on activities and labs.
2. Identify the characteristics of different textiles through lab experiments using heat, microscopes, and solvents.
3. Summarize the process of the formation of fibers into fabrics.
4. Identify examples of specific textiles used in daily life.
5. Recognize dyes and finishes to help understand the appropriate way to store, clean, maintain, and use specific fabrics.
6. Explore new technologies in the textile industry.
7. Predict fabric performance based on fibers, construction methods, and finishes.
