2. Course Objectives & Competences to be Acquired

The course aims to introduce the students to the basics of spinning processes with regard to the raw
material characteristics (both natural and man-made fibers) and The students will able to know the
Objectives, principles and overall operational aspects of blow room, carding, combing, drawing and
spinning machinery (including rotor spinning); post spinning processes and also the properties of the
yarns produced.
