Textile engineering education is toward moving to graduate degrees such as master or PhD degrees in textile engineering and restricting undergraduate degrees to textile technology. This change needs to be made in timely fashion before it becomes inevitable. This can indeed result in a wider attraction to students who graduated from different traditional engineering programs such as chemical, mechanical, or electrical engineering. It will also satisfy the current and future trends in the textile industry in terms of many new directions such as the needs to minimize the industry adverse environmental impacts, the strong trend toward more sustainable products, and the utilization of smart technology and nanotechnology in the maker of textile products. These areas require higher levels of education beyond the undergraduate level.
