(TEX)—TEXTILE MANAGEMENT
TECHNOLOGY
TEX 101 Fundamentals of Textiles (3-0-3)
This course covers the fundamentals of textiles, including
nomenclature of machinery and processes from opening
through finished product. Emphasis is placed on description
and formation of polymers, fibers, yarns, and fabrics; dyeing,
finishing, chemistry, and physics of textile fibers and polymers;
and testing and marketing of products.

This course is a study of the fiber processing systems required
to transform various fibrous materials into yarn. This course
involves the fundamental purpose, theory and practice calculations
of each process machine with emphasis on machinery
and equipment available on the present market.
TEX 111 Textile Process—Fiber/Spin (1-3-2)
This course is a survey of machinery and processes of textile
manufacturing from fiber formation through the spinning operation.
Will visit several textile plants. Textile calculations will
be emphasized.
TEX 112 Textile Process—Weave/Finish (1-3-2)
This course is a survey of the machinery and processing of
textile manufacturing from the weaving operation through the
finishing operation.
TEX 115 Management Safety (3-0-3)
This course is a study of the managerial safety fundamentals
and the relationship to the economics of accident prevention.
Promotion of safe practices includes mechanical safeguards,
fire preventive housekeeping, occupational devices, first aid,
safety organization, protection equipment, and the analysis of
accident causes. OSHA standards will be reviewed.
TEX 121 Textile Engineering (3-3-4)
This course involves the application of time study, standard
data development and formula construction, work sampling
principles, and studies. The history and techniques of analyzing
and the measuring and applying normal time values to textile
operations to develop a “questioning attitude” are also
studied. Includes section on print reading.
