All students graduating from this curriculum must demonstrate 102 level competency in a foreign language. A grade of "C-" or higher is required for E 101, CH 101, CH 102, ENG 101, MA 141, MA 241, PY 205. All Humanities/Social Science electives must be taken according to the College of Engineering Requirements in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

All Humanities/Social Science electives must be taken according to the GER requirements of the College of Engineering. GC 120 will be required as one of the Humanities and Social Sciences.

Students in this concentration may consider design of textiles for a broad range of applications including: sports textiles, smart textiles, protective garments, and medical textiles. One of these, namely medical textiles, requires special preparation on the part of the student because of the environment in which the product is used. Accordingly, students wishing to pursue one of the following focus areas must meet the requirements listed below. Students should first inform the Program Director of the intent to pursue the focus area immediately upon matriculation into the Textile Engineering Program. The student should then:

*Choose three engineering electives from one of the following focus areas.

Focus areas in the Product Engineering Concentration:

Machine Design: those students wishing to pursue the machine design focus area should take MAE 301 (thermodynamics) in place of TE 303 (Thermodynamics for Engineers), and MAE 206 for their Statics requirement. In addition, those students should take MAE 208, TE/CHE 435, and one other elective (selected with approval of their advisor) with an MAE or TE prefix.

Medical Textiles: TE (BME) 466, 566, 567, 565, PCC 471. Students wishing to take this focus area should have one year of Biology in High School, BIO 181, or ZO 160 and take MSE (BME) 203 in place of MSE 201.

Materials Science and Engineering: those students wishing to pursue the Mat. Sci. and Engr. focus area MAY take MSE 201 (Equilibrium and Rate Processes) in place of TE 303 (Thermodynamics for Engineers) if they choose. In addition, those students should take MSE 350, 450, and one other elective (selected with approval of their advisor) with an MAE or TE prefix.
