PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Importation of textile products such as clothing, carpets, bandages, and other fabrics or textile products used in different fields has a negative impact on the economy of our country. The production of textile products has declined in the past years. Besides textile engineers are few and most of them are trained abroad. As such there is a need to rejuvenate the textile industry in our country through training of experts who can spearhead production of textile products in our country. The need for textile products is always increasing since it is proportional to population growth. As the establishment mandate of Malawi Institute of Technology and Department of Engineering, we are supposed to develop the textile engineering curriculum necessary to equip students with practical skills and theoretical knowledge as in line with policies of the Republic of Malawi.
The programme aims to produce high calibre graduates that will apply principles and techniques of mechanical and Textile engineering, especially designing and developing the processes, equipment and procedures that create all these fibers, yarns and fabrics.
Career Prospects
Students graduating from this programme can work in various capacities in the textile manufacturing chain. They can be involved in process design and equipment manufacturing. It is a field that has a lot of potential.
