This is my great gratification to look at the department of Textile Engineering (TE), Jashore University of Science and Technology (JUST).Textile science and clothing manufacturing sector of Bangladesh has been rising swiftly to convene the requirements of the massive population of the country as well as for the export sector which is prosperous due to our available manpower supply. It contributes to more than 80% of total export earnings. There are about 385 Spinning Mills, 721 Weaving Mills, Export oriented 800 and local 2000 Knit Composite Mills, 310 Dyeing, Printing, Finishing Mills and 5063 export oriented Ready Made Garments (RMG) in Bangladesh which is the world’s 2^nd biggest exporter. At present more than four million people are working directly in garments factories and the demand of textile engineers is increasing radically with the rapid growth of the garments sector. Bangladesh’s overall export earnings stood at $34.83 billion in FY’17, which is 1.68% higher than the $34.25 billion a year ago. Bangladesh earned $28.09 billion ($14.74 billion from woven and $13.35 billion from knit) which was 80.7% of the total earnings in exports and 12.36% of GDP from the clothing industry. It is anticipated that garment export will be doubled in the coming 10 years. Currently, textile industry accounts for 45% of all industrial employments in the country. Bangladeshi apparel makers have set a target of raising the annual export volume to $50 billion in 2021. 60% of Bangladesh’s RMG products are exported to the EU market others new market zone Australia and rest of to America. The large and growing textile and apparel manufacturing industry in Bangladesh has been placing a rising demand of highly trained and skillful manpower with technical and managerial background.

For the greater interest and progressive prospect of Textile sector in Bangladesh, the university authority has launched the four year under graduate program entitled “B.Sc. in Textile Engineering” under the faculty of “Engineering and Technology” from academic session 2017-2018 through admitting twenty students.

This department is persistent in its effort to build up the students not only as skilled engineers but also as artistic and efficient responsible person of the country. The enthusiastic and experienced faculty members are intending to share the latest technological information and developments in the Textile sectors to the students for keeping them updated. I express my gratitude to all the faculty members, students, guardians, officials and staffs of the department for their hard effort and devotion for the development of this department as well as this university.
