Bangabandhu Textile Engineering College

Bangabandhu Textile Engineering College (Bengali:বঙ্গবন্ধু টেক্সটাইল ইন্জিনিয়ারিং কলেজ) is an engineering college in Tangail, Bangladesh which is academically operated by the faculty of Engineering and Technology of the University of Dhaka. The college was established in 2007.

Curriculum
The first year syllabus consists of Fundamental science in addition to basic concepts of textile engineering. From the second year onwards, students acquire a wide range of theoretical and practical knowledge in the area of textile engineering to equip them for future employment. In the third year students become capable of acquiring the full knowledge about Textile Engineering.

In the fourth or final year students are required to choose groups of subjects for specialization. These include:
 * 1) Yarn Manufacturing
 * 2) Fabric Manufacturing (Weaving and Knitting)
 * 3) Wet Processing
 * 4) Garments Manufacturing

(See Textile manufacturing)

They also undertake project work; have an industrial internship and must take a comprehensive viva.

Students
At present approximately 260 students are enrolled at the college. Of these, around 15% are female.

Admission
Admission procedure is administered by the Department of Textiles in Bangladesh. Students who have successfully passed and have received a Diploma in Textile Engineering can apply for admission. Admission is offered once a year, generally in February.

Career prospects
The technological knowledge and skills of textile engineers are valued by textile manufacturing companies. The majority of textile graduates take up posts in the textile manufacturing industry as process or plant managers, development engineers or technologists. Recent graduates have found employment in the areas of production management, design, textile testing and quality assurance, new product development, purchasing, commercial banks and customs. At present there is a demand for textile engineers in Bangladesh.
