Course Policies and Rules

In this course, fabric mechanical properties and the relationships among those properties, structural and physical properties are explained to students. Furthermore, the awareness of students about the importance of subjective assessments is provided. During lessons, environment that can share students' experience and knowledge is created, and findings of current literatures examined and researches being carried out are discussed. Attendance is mandatory.
