Textile and Apparel industry is the leading and most expanding sector in Bangladesh. This sector is unparalleled till today in terms of earning foreign currency, production and employment scopes in our country. The apparel sector is also the pioneer of women's empowerment. About 80% of our country’s foreign currency is earned by exporting the ready-made garments by maintaining world class quality.
The large and continuous expanding apparel industry in Bangladesh has been creating an increasing demand of skilled personnel with strong technological background. To meet this demand and face the global competition in the textile trade, World University of Bangladesh (WUB) has launched the 4 year undergraduate program entitled ‘B. Sc. in Textile Engineering’ under the faculty of Science and Engineering since 2009. ‘Bachelor of Fashion Design and Apparel Technology (FDAT)’ and ‘B. Sc. in Apparel Manufacturing Engineering (AME)’ programs have marched their journey under the Department of Textile Engineering since 2022 and have been running smoothly till now.
The department of Textile Engineering and Fashion Design of WUB follows the modern and up-to-date education system which competes with that of the developed countries in modern world. The courses are run by semester system. The medium of instruction of this department is English. As of today (December 2023), more than 1200 students graduated from this department, and they have been performing well in the different textile and apparel factories as well as in many commercial organizations in the country. Some of our graduates are attending in distinguished universities at home and abroad for post-graduate education and research.
The Textile Engineering and Fashion Design department always maintains a close and collaborative relationship with the renowned Textile and Apparel industries and various research institutes for executing our academic activities more smoothly and in an advance way. The Department is committed to blending engineering expertise with creative fashion design, producing graduates who are not only technically proficient but also innovative and forward-thinking in their approach to the textile & fashion industry.
From the inception of the Textile Engineering and Fashion Design department, students were practicing performing various extracurricular activities to explore their latent talent. And for this, the WUB Textile club started its journey from Jun 2010, when the age of department was only one year. From the very beginning, the WUB Textile club has been proving itself as a platform for all students of textile engineering department where they can express their thoughts, feelings, leadership and concealed talent. Students of the textile engineering department always organized different types of extracurricular and co-curricular activities under this club. WUB Textile Club is determined to continue its steps on the road to progress and development. It is also a matter of pleasure that WUB Textile Alumni Association has been formed and they are continuously fostering a strong network among former students, supporting current students by providing internship and job opportunity, contributing to the industry and many more.
World University of Bangladesh (WUB) established under the private University Act, 1992 (amended in 1998), approved and recognized by the Ministry of Education, Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh and the University Grants Commission (UGC) of Bangladesh is a leading university for utilitarian education. The University is governed by a board of trustees constituted as per private universities Act 2010 which is a non-profit making concern. The university is a member of the Association of Private Universities in Bangladesh, Association of Common Wealth Universities and Quality Assurance & Improvement Council and appears in the worldwide listing of universities by the UNESCO.
Although the formal approval to start operation of the World University of Bangladesh was received on February 26, 2003, the ground work for the university began in early part of 2000, Now the university on entering its 22nd year of operation has all needed infrastructural facilities and highly qualified teachers in its 3 faculties and 14 departments with 24 programs at day and evening.
World University of Bangladesh is destined to provide utilitarian education for economic emancipation without undermining the national ideals and aspirations and is authorized to offer courses and award degrees, diplomas, certificates on its own. At present it has credit transfer arrangements and academic collaborations with some universities in UK, USA, Australia and the Caribbean.
The university had its first convocation on 28th October 2008, where 782 students received degree from the Hon’ble President of People’s Republic of Bangladesh and Chancellor of World University of Bangladesh. (also see our website: www.wub.edu.bd). As many as 3900 students are now ready for conferment of degrees in the up-coming convocation. None of its degree holders is unemployed implying its emphasis on quality education with utilitarian bent.
This university is the pioneer in introducing degree programs for the Diploma Engineers; B.Sc. in Mechatronics Engineering (MTE) & Master of Business Education (MBE) in this part of the world. The MTE program also known as electro-Mechanical engineering in few western countries is a synergistic combination of a number of basic engineering and administrative courses. As such, it is a highly demanding course at home and abroad. The MBE program is meant for people destined to make career in teaching of business related subjects and for those willing to make a career in practical business world in short span of time. We have few Institutes and various types of collaboration programs. All of our programs are approved by the UGC. We publish some journals which have earned appreciation at home and abroad.
The vision of the Department of Textile Engineering is to produce leaders in the textile and apparel sector, characterized by academic excellence, research, and innovative ideas that contribute to the economic emancipation of our beloved country.
The mission of the Department is to develop human resources to meet the needs of modern society within the highly complex and global apparel world. To achieve this, we aim to produce quality graduates imbued with ethical values and equipped with knowledge and skills suited to the fast-changing industry.
