2   To be able to realize the behavior of the fibers in finishing processes by understanding the morphological structures of the fibers
3   To be able to learn the fundamental terms of textile fiber structures
4   To be able to understand the behaviors of the natural and synthetic fibers to chemicals by learning fiber fine structure
5   To be able to estimate the performances of textiles by getting textile chemistry information
6   To be able compare the behaviors of the different fibers in finishing processes by learning the structural properties of natural and synthetic fibers
7   To be able to estimate the appropriate enduses of the fibers by understanding their physical properties and structures
8   To be able to learn the enduses, finishing processes and structural properties of high performance and functional fibers.
