This concentration was designed to merge the expertise of textile engineers with that of chemical engineers, particularly for chemical firms manufacturing polymers and fibers. Graduates can leverage this understanding to create or enhance chemical procedures in sectors involved with polymer and fiber production. The Chemical Processing concentration centers on addressing challenges in the processing of polymers, fibers, coatings, and structures like yarns and fabrics. The Textile Engineering Program is an interdisciplinary course of study that incorporates various scientific and engineering concepts. Students in Textile Engineering gain a distinctive foundation, enabling them to engage in undergraduate research, summer internships, and design initiatives spanning from the creation of artificial blood vessels to designing innovative water purification systems for isolated communities and protective gear for astronauts against lunar radiation. The program features small classes with individualized faculty mentorship. Furthermore, over the past three years, nearly all graduates have secured full-time jobs or advanced to graduate studies. Within North Carolina State University, the College of Textiles boasts the highest rate of student participation in scholarship initiatives, with more than half of all Textile Engineering students receiving financial aid.
