NOTE: The text is written at an
11-12 grade reading level. If your
reading of English vocabulary is below that level, you may find success
difficult in this class. The
reading lab is available to improve your reading and vocabulary--see me immediately so you can get off to a
good start. Please see me to get
help with testing your reading level and getting you into a lab this
quarter.
COURSE
DESCRIPTION: TEXTILES is a comprehensive study
of natural and synthetic fibers, their properties, end uses and care as they
relate to fashion ready-to-wear and interior design. This course will help you make the link
between important fiber properties, fabric structure, and finishes and its
performance in a specific end use.
OUTCOMES
FOR INDES 110: Students successfully completing this
class will be able to:
l.
Understand and correctly use basic fiber property terminology for natural and man-made fibers as demonstrated on
lab book writings, exams, and abstracts.
2. Demonstrate a basic understanding of the fiber
chemistry and molecular arrangement as it relates to fiber properties
by applying this information to textile
technologies.
3.
Identify
unknown fibers/ or fiber blends based on completion and analysis of burning and
microscopic testing.
After
successful completion of Textiles, student work will:
1.
Demonstrate
an understanding of information about the major fibers, their properties and how
that relates to selection for appropriate end uses by successfully
completing exams questions and through the preparation/completing of the lab
notebook.
2.
Identify,
locate, and extract current information on a fiber technology utilizing varied
information sources on textiles, for example the Journal
Abstract.
3.
Identify
and select fabrics for specific end uses based on the performance of their yarn
structure and fabric construction and be able to correlate to appropriate
performance criteria.
4.
Demonstrate
problem identification and solutions by the selection, and justification of
appropriate finishes including dyes, perma-press,
flammability, and soil release, for specific end uses; for example, in the
preparation of the property chart, and test essay
questions.
5.
Cite
guidelines/criteria of varied pieces of federal legislation as they apply to
fabrics by successfully completing exam questions.
