European Master´s Program E-Team
In addition to providing an engineering program to students at TU Dresden, the ITM is also involved in a European Master´s program „European Masters in Advanced Textile Engineering“(E-Team).
The two-year program (working language: English) with a focus on textile and ready-made technologies as well as textile mechanical engineering takes place at three different research institutes of European universities and colleges. The change of location occurrs at the end of each semester. In semester 4, the program ends with the writing of a Master´s thesis, which can be completed at any of the three research institutions.
The university textile research institutes that are involved in this program have formed a European association named AUTEX - Association of Universities for Textiles“ to coordinate all teaching activities. Within this association, 34 university members from 28 countries (status in June 2016), e.g. Germany, Spain, Great Britain, USA, Japan, Portugal, and Sweden, have joined forced to coordinate interdisciplinary collaborations in research and education in the field of textile and ready-made technologies as well as textile mechanical engineering.
The study courses of the E-Team program are provided by dedicated professors and scientists that are part of AUTEX.
ITM offers two lectures with high practical relevance for our E-Team students:
- Technical Textile Manufacturing Technology
- Computer Aided Textile Design & Manufacturing
In addition to the European study program „European Masters in Advanced Textile Engineering“ (E-Team) there is the scientific conference AUTEX that is held every year at one of the European universities.
