1. Introduction

Ethiopia has a good climate condition and 2,575,810-hectare potential land is available for the

cultivation of cotton. Adding value to cotton products and other textile materials is the way in

which the textile manufacturing industries contribute to state and national economies. While 98

percent of agricultural production in developed countries undergoes industrial processing, only

about 30 percent is processed in developing countries. There is an alarming gap between least

developed and industrialized countries concerning the percentage of value addition through the

industrial processes.

Textiles sub-sectors of Ethiopian industry are at the forefront of agriculture-led industrialization

and export-oriented strategies of the Government, which appears to be a better way of entering

the value chain system. As a consequence to the change of industrialization, the textile

technology system demands developing a professional profile that has to satisfy the need for

modern industrialization. The link between traditional handicraft manufacturing and engineering

capability and professional fields has to be built up.

The installed capacity of the textile industry is very low for the size and population of Ethiopia.

However, the utilization of even this installed capacity is rather very low as confirmed by various

studies conducted in this regard. The studies also point out that the productivity and quality of

the products are judged to be below average to poor with the result that the factories incur heavy

financial losses year after year. On the other hand, Textile field offers attractive options for the

industrialization of Ethiopia such as huge job generation potential, high foreign exchange

earning potential, rapid industrialization of the country with various „spin-off‟ benefits across the

spectrum at moderate investments. Again, most of the developed and developing countries take

the route of textiles for the industrialization of their countries. And also, there is a very critical

and urgent need for the massive expansion of the industry in our country. Based on MoTI (2007)

projection, 250 new textile and apparel industries will be established up to 2020 which can make

job opportunities for 125,000 employees.

AKSUM

UNIVERSITY




Currently textile sector contributes 1.6% to national GDP and 12.4% of the industrial output by

value (2009/10). According to forecast of Textile Industry Development Institute (TIDI), about

570 Textile Engineers, 831 Garment Engineers and 994 other professions are needed for the

successful accomplishment of Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP 1) goal of textile sector

whereas 1983 Textile Engineer, 2889 Garment Engineer and 3524 other professions for GTP 2.

Therefore, the establishment of Textile Engineering Department in Aksum University is

emphasized by Ministry of Education and Textile Industry Development Institute. The program

deals primarily with the textile production & textile finishing. The emphasis will be in

maximizing the economic benefits of the country in areas of Textiles.

This curriculum is adapted from the curriculum developed by Bahir Dar University, Institute of

Technology for Textile, Garment and Fashion Design (iOTEX) and adjusted as it can be used in

Axum University Department of Textile Engineering. In the near future, the department will be

upgraded to institute as per the requirement of Ministry of Education and Textile Industry

Development Institute (TIDI). The curriculum is prepared for training students for Textile

industries, Garment industries, and TVET.

controlled atmospheric conditions. The course on Air

Conditioning in Textiles covers the science and technology of air

conditioning in general and with special relevance to the textile

field. The course on Mechanisms of Textile Machines covers the

subject matter of machine elements in general and with special

module

This module is the last of the modules and is placed in the last

(10th

Semester). The student has already learnt (almost) all courses

required for the earning of the degree. This module aims to make the

student to apply his acquired knowledge to a specific problem and find

possible solutions in a scientific manner. The student will be required

to choose a problem in a field of his interest; he should collect the

necessary information, conduct various studies and experiments and so

on in order to find out feasible solutions. This process will make the

student to realize the full potential of his education in the practical field

of application. The „theoretical‟ knowledge gained so far will become

„practical‟; the more elusive concepts learnt earlier would become

more concrete and meaningful. The student from being a learner is

transformed to a problem-solver.
