Course Policies and Rules

This course aims to give an understanding the problem and practise of fabric and garment design and to introduce a mathematical approach to general design problems. For this, certain fabrics design problems are solved and the geometrical and statistical aspects of garment production and design are introduced. Course presentations are supported by slide shows and computer applications. In order to impart application capability and practice to the student a homework is given which requires a comprehensive product design work.
