Advanced Garment Construction Lab
Sewing Machines:
Various types, including industrial lockstitch, overlock, flatlock, and sometimes computerized embroidery and fashion maker machines, are essential for stitching and creating different seam finishes.
Pattern Making & Drafting Tools:
Equipment for creating and modifying patterns, including drafting tools, measuring tapes, and potentially specialized software for pattern design.
Cutting Equipment:
Tools for accurately cutting fabrics, such as cutting tables and possibly industrial fabric cutters.
Pressing & Finishing Tools:
Irons, steam irons, pressing equipment, and other finishing tools to achieve a professional look for the garments.
Dress Forms:
Used to help students visualize and fit garments on a three-dimensional form, aiding in the understanding of body measurements and drape.
Fabric & Material Access:
A supply of different types of fabrics and notions to allow students to experiment and apply construction techniques.
Dyeing & Processing Lab
The Textile Testing and Dyeing Laboratory provides students with practical experience in analysing fabric quality and learning various dyeing techniques.
Equipped with modern instruments like GSM cutters, tensile strength testers, crock meters, and colour matching cabinets, the lab helps students understand fabric performance and properties.
In the dyeing section, students practice dyeing natural and synthetic fibers using different methods and dye classes.
They gain knowledge about colourfastness, fabric behaviour, and eco-friendly dyeing practices.
Guided by expert faculty, this hands-on training prepares students for careers in textile processing, quality control, and sustainable fashion.
The lab bridges theory with real-world application.
Fashion Illustration Lab
Drawing and art studios:
Facilities that support a wide range of media, including drawing pencils, markers, and paints.
Digital design software:
Computer labs with graphic design software like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, which are standard tools for digital fashion illustrations.
General campus amenities:
Resources like the campus bookstore for supplies, a library, and other student services.
Related courses:
Illustration skills would be developed in general studio art or drawing courses, but not as part of a dedicated fashion illustration major.
Computer Aided Design Lab
High-Performance Computers:
These are equipped with powerful processors and graphics cards to handle complex CAD software and large design files.
CAD Software:
Essential software such as Autodesk AutoCAD, CATIA, CREO, and Master-CAM are installed to facilitate design and analysis.
Color Plotters and Printers:
These devices are used to produce professional-quality, full-color scaled drawings and models directly from the CAD software.
Projection Equipment:
Projectors and demonstration setups support real-time instruction and collaborative learning, allowing for the visual presentation of complex designs.
Networked Environment:
A stable network infrastructure connects workstations and provides internet access.
User-Friendly Workspace:
The lab's layout and equipment are designed to support individual and group-based learning activities effectively.
Nutrition and Dietetics
The Nutrition and Dietetics Laboratory provides practical training in food science, therapeutic diet preparation, nutrition assessment, and food service management. Equipped with modern instruments and cooking facilities, it enables students to translate theory into practice through experimentation and innovation. The lab emphasizes food analysis, diet planning, and product development while promoting sustainable and health-focused solutions. It also supports research and outreach activities, preparing students to become skilled dietitians, nutrition professionals, and future leaders in health promotion.
