[ M.Tech ( Technical Textiles). Syllabus 1st SEMISTER.]

The university will have the status as "DEEMED UNIVERSITY"
The semester will start with the first batch of students,who will all attend the introductory function and get individual university course kit.(This will contain everything the student must know regarding the course syllabus,dress code,rules and regulations,various punishments for violations.Awards for merit etc.)

Few facts for a good start befour the syllabus is given.
In the year 1995 at a major International Exhibition,Technical Textiles was launched to reflect the growth of technical textiles and soon developed a simple taxonomy that has been used ever since to describe the scope of this new industry and marketing sector.
To start the first semester the number of students who are qualified with a degree in Textiles are only eligible.
The number of students will be 30 for beginning the activities of the college economically.
As all the students are qualified textile technologists,we can right away start with "Technical Textile" subjects.
The students should submit the syllabus they have studied in the university that they have completed their B Tech (Technical Textiles) and this will be scrutinized by the admitting university for M Tech (Technical Textile ).The syllabus must include such subjects which are Textile Costing,testing,fabric structure,corporate planning,business management,HRM,Statistical & Quality Control Systms,Textile Standards for InternationalQuality,Industrial Engineering, Calculation & Methods of stock in process,Humidification & Air Conditioning,Industrial & Labour Laws,Export Rules & Controls,First Aid Training,Fire Fighting,Scientific Management systems,Use of Stock Market & Shares,etc........If they are not in the syllabus,a entrance test covering the subjects,("The entrance test being mandatory") will be held befour admission.

The subjects are as under:
1] Agrotech.
2] Buildtech.
3] Clothtech.
4] Geotech.
5] Hometech.
6] Indutech.
7] Medtech.
8] Mobitech.
9] Oekotech.
10]Packtech.
11]Protech.
12]Sportstech.
With in each of the headings are literally hundreds of products and applications for textiles,some traditional,some replacing other well established materials and techniques,and some have been newly created by the properties and capabilities of textile materials and structures.All products regarded as technical textiles with extremely demanding specifications to which they are made are tested to international standards.
Just for example,the medical and hygiene textile markets ranges from high volume disposable products for baby's nappies,feminine hygiene and adult incontinence through to extremely specialized and high valve textile products for use in blood filtration,surgical sutures,prostheses and most recently,scaffolds for new tissue growth.
To cover the 12 areas in the listed subjects it has to be 3 subjects for each semester.

FIRST SEMESTER.
AGROTECH.

STUDENTS WILL BE TAUGHT ALL TOPICS IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS MENTIONED AND WILL UNDERTAKE PRACTICAL FIELD TRAINING AND VISIT THE AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY AT THE NEAREST PLACE AND TAKE NOTES ON THE ACTIVITIES IN THE UNIVERSITY.TEXT BOOKS WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE IN THE COLLEGE LIBRARY.

Applications for technical textiles in the Agrotech sector include all activities concerned with the growing and harvesting of crops and animals. The principal function of most agricultural textiles relates to the protection of either food produce, animals or land.
End-uses range from crop production (cereals, cotton, tobacco, etc), through forestry and horticulture (fruits, vegetables, trees and flowers), to animal and poultry rearing and fishing.

Ground Cover
Ground cover/ Weed Control Fabric is made from UV stabilized polypropylene yarns and is manufactured in two types, 100 gsm and 108 gsm. The polypropylene Ground Cover/ Weed Control fabric is available with green marker lines at 12 inches (30cm) intervals. The Ground cover/ Weed Control Fabric prevents weed growth and allows air circulation. The fabric protects the roots from the spread of fungus and bacteria. It is permeable to air and water and is resistant to mildew and rotting.
Ground Cover / Weed Control fabric is used in various applications such as landscaping, green houses, nurseries, shade structures, etc
Woven Ground Cover Benefits
* Good UV stability.
* Good puncture and abrasion resistance.
* Good light blocking.
* Good water transmission.
* Can be through planted.
* Raises ground temperature and maintains soil humidity.
* Can be covered with bark and chippings etc..
* Reduces need for chemical weed control.
* Plants do not have to compete with weeds for nutrients and water.
Woven from long lasting UV stabilized polypropylene tape yarn. It will block out sunlight and reduce photosynthesis preventing weed and unwanted plant growth.
Its specially profiled threads allow water to drain away quickly, reducing pounding. Many grades have colored lines woven into the textile to assist nurserymen neatly layout their stocks. To this end the material is tough enough to withstand reasonable pedestrian traffic in outdoor areas, polythene tunnels and greenhouses. Being a woven product it will be prone to fraying if cut or punctured, however in the UK you could expect the premium products to last for 5 – 8 years. It is often used by Allotment Societies to keep unused plots clear for future members. Woven ground cover is ideal for use under decking etc.

KNOWLEDGE IN AGROTECH SUPPORT EQUIPMENTS such as the following items shown.










The above pictures from few of the following.

* GROW LIGHT PACKAGES
* COMPLETE LIGHTING SYSTEMS
* GROW LIGHT BALLASTS
* GROW LIGHT REFLECTORS
* GROW LIGHT LAMPS, BULBS
* FLUORESCENT LIGHTING
* CO2 & ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL
* AEROGARDEN
* FANS & DUCTING
* HYDRO SYSTEMS
* HYDRO ACCESSORIES
* LIGHTING ACCESSORIES
* METERS-PH/EC/TDS
* POTS & CONTAINERS
* NUTRIENTS & SUPPLEMENTS
* SEED STARTING & CLONING
* ODOR CONTROL
* GROWING MEDIUMS
* SPRAYER
* PUMPS (AIR & WATER)
* WATER CHILLER

A VAST MAJORITY OF AGRICULTURAL SECTOR HAVE ENCOMPASSED AGROTECH WHICH WE CAN'T HELP.THE STUDENTS MUST BE GUIDED ON TECHNICAL TEXTILES MANUFACTURE WHICH HELPS IMPROVE QUALITY AND QUANTITY IN THE PRODUCTION,PRESERVATION AND SOIL CONSERVATION IN AGRICULTURE (A GREEN HOUSE CULTURE IN PREVENTING SOIL QUALITY,ALL KINDS OF POLLUTION INCLDING THE USE OF TECHNICAL TEXTILES IN PEST CONTROL).
Syllabus for BUILD TECH.
( Contexts often referred in Technical Textiles )

Technical textiles in various contexts are often referred to as performance textiles or functional textiles or engineered textiles or high-tech textiles.

Technical Textile fiber: Almost 90 % of the fibers(link to textile fabric) utilized to make technical textiles belong to the category of conventional fibers and the fibers specially developed to specifically use in technical textiles are not only expensive but often have limited applications.

Technical Textile products: Within the composites industry, woven, knitted braided, non woven(link) and wound reinforcements produced from glass, carbon fiber and organic polymer materials like aramids are presently accepted as technical textile products.

Syllabus for Clothtech.


SUCH MACHINES MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE TO SEE SO A TEXT BOOK ON THE SUBJECT WOULD HELP THE STUDENTS TO STUDY THE VAST AREA THIS SUBJECT COVERS
