Study Program for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in

Garment Engineering (5-Year Program)
August, 2013
1. Background
Enormous potentials of value added and employment opportunities have not made use of it
until now. While developed nations add US $180 of value by processing one ton of
agricultural products, developing countries generate only US $ 40.
Garment Sector is a very attractive proposition for the value addition for the developing
countries in view of the obvious advantages which are listed below briefly:
• Modest levels of investment
• High rate of employment generation, particularly for women
• High demand for garments in the international market, particularly from the
developed countries
• Growth of Textile Sector - as a provider of raw materials (fabrics and yarns)
• Growth of agriculture - as provider of raw materials and so on.
Many countries (e.g. Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan to quote a few developing countries)
have immensely benefited by this route and Ethiopia has its advantages which can be
exploited.
Ethiopian Situation
Ethiopia has been a recent entrant to this sector and faces many teething troubles,
particularly with regard to quality, productivity, garment design and pattern making. This is
due to the lack of properly educated personnel in this field.
Clothing is considered as one of the basic commodities in all parts of the world. The textile
and garment-manufacturing sector represents one of the major industries in Ethiopia. The
Ethiopian Government aims to foster rapid export growth through production of high value
industrial products and increased support to export oriented manufacturing sectors. Poverty
reduction is the core objective of the Ethiopian Government. Therefore, the effort made to
strengthen the agriculture sector; the industry development strategy has been designed as
agriculture led industrialization.
The industry development strategy emphasizes the need for sustained capacity building
measures in terms of systems, institutions and individual targeted towards accelerating
labour intensive, agriculture led and export oriented industrial development of the nation.
Textile and garment sectors have a large number of employees and can be considered as a
main strategic focus for the economic development of the country.
Ethiopia has good climate condition and 2,575,810-hectare potential land is available for
cultivation of cotton. Adding value to cotton products and other textile materials is the way
B. Sc. in Garment Engineering (5-Year) 1

in which the garment manufacturing industries contribute to state and national economies.
While 98 percent of agricultural production in developed countries undergoes industrial
processing, nearly 30 percent is processed in developing countries. There is an alarming
gap between least developed and industrialized countries concerning the percentage of
value addition through industrial processes.
Textile and garment sub-sector of Ethiopian industry is at the forefront of agriculture-led

industrialization and export-oriented strategies of the Government of Ethiopia, which
appears to be a better way of entering the value chain system. As a consequence to the
change of industrialization the textile and garment technology system demands developing
professional profiles, which have to satisfy the need for modern industrialization.
Ethiopia has a significant number of textile mills for more than 5 decades, though in relation
to the size and population of the country, there is a very high potential for further growth.
The entry of Garment Sector is a recent one, but is a fast growing one. There are already
more than 50 garment units that have already started their production. Considering the
relatively modest investments required, the growth of this sector is expected to very high,
which is again indicated by the number of garment enterprises that are in the offing (more
than 200 at the last count). The government of Ethiopia is keen to develop this sector, as it
can generate the much needed employment and enhance the export performance of the
country (set at a modest sum of half-a-billion US dollars per annum - which has nevertheless
been achieved so far). Further, this sector can also help grow the Textile Industry - as they
will be the providers of the raw material - fabric - to this sector.
Currently, the sector is managed by personnel drawn from Textile Industry and is also from
persons without sufficient knowledge in the field. The first category of personnel may be
viewed rather favourably in relation to the next class of persons mentioned, as they (the
first class of personnel) have a good knowledge about yarns and fabrics and most probably,
they might have taken an introductory course in Garment Technology. However, the
industry does not have personnel specifically educated in this area and this remains a very
serious problem to achieve the quality levels demanded in the highly competitive export (in
fact, even the domestic) market at competitive prices. This is again due to the absence of a
good quality, university level engineering program specially designed to meet the
requirements of the garment sector.

The Federal Ministry of Education has initiated the curriculum harmonization program in
order to have uniform course syllabus and delivery in a program deliverd in different
institutions. Accordingly, the Garment Engineering curriculum has been harmonized by Bahir
Dar University –The Institute of Technology for Textile, Garment & Fashion Design and
Wolkite University. The harmonization processes have been carried out using the guidelines
and instruction given by HESC.
The Garment Engineering is a five year program. The curriculum constitute 24 modules
which aim to give specific competencies to the students. The mode of delivery and
assessment methods for each courses has been devised and incorporated.
2. Rationale
Textile Industry is the provider of the raw materials for the Garment Industry; therefore it is
considered appropriate to give a brief background of the Textile Industry in order to
appreciate the fine points of the Garment Industry
The current installed capacity of the Textile Industry in Ethiopia is 12 integrated textile mills.
Most of these textile factories are of integrated type (comprising of Spinning, Weaving and
Textile Finishing machinery), though a few have Knitting and Blanket Manufacturing
facilities. There is one textile factory specialising in the manufacture of sewing threads and
another on jute and related products.
The fibre base of the textile industry of Ethiopia is mainly cotton, though other fibres such
as Polyester, Viscose, Acrylic, Jute, Sisal, False Banana and Wool are used in limited
quantities. Almost all the textile factories are in the public sector.
The installed capacity of the Textile Industry, though not adequate, is rather significant. The
Textile Industry is also unable to supply the fabric of required quality and quantity.
However, the textile industry is expected to grow in line with the requirements of the
country due to the high interest shown by the government as manifested in terms of
incentives and special initiatives. As the demand for the quality is more and more insistent,
the textile industry will have no other option other than improving its quality; in this respect,
the graduates of the Textile Engineering degree program are expected to contribute to the
improvement of the textile industry.
Coming to the Garment industry, as already mentioned, Ethiopia is a recent entrant and
though there are obvious advantages, the industry is not able to exploit these advantages to
the maximum. One of the major factors for this sorry state of affairs is the total absence of
qualified and experienced professionals in the field. This, in turn, can be traced to the

absence of a high quality engineering program at the University level that has been
designed specifically to meet the requirements of the Garment Industry.
All the demand assessment surveys conducted by the Institute of Technology for
Textile,Garment and Fashion Design and also other governmental agencies have consistently
come to the same conclusion - that is lack of professionals and the immediate need to start
an engineering program for the garment sector.
A possible misconception also needs to be cleared is that the garment industry is not a
simple ‘tailoring’ work that can be acquired by a simple exposure to the factory by persons
educated in other fields. The mass scale production of even simple garments, by itself,
needs a completely different structured approach and needs competent professionals.
Further, Garment industry has come a long way in terms of technology; some simple
examples are the applications of computers for garment design and pattern making, the use
of sophisticated sewing machines and special finishes and so on. Therefore, it demands
professionals who have been trained as engineers and technologists with intensive and
extensive knowledge in the basic sciences, mathematics, and statistics, fundamental
knowledge in principles of mechanical engineering and electrical engineering and
management sciences apart from the core subjects of garment design, manufacture and
marketing. This level of professionalism cannot be achieved by people not trained and
educated at the University level with a properly designed curriculum and its implementation.
As pointed out earlier, already, there are about 50 garment manufacturing units in Ethiopia
and more units are in the offing. A garment manufacturing unit may employ at the minimum
5 graduates and a maximum of 10 graduates, depending on the size of the factory and
other relevant considerations. Thus, to start with, there is a demand for at least 250
garment graduate engineers for the present size of the factory. If projections for the future
growth are realised, which is considered most likely, there will be a sustained demand for
the garment engineers in the coming decades.
This industry, in view of the present size and the expected growth, needs engineers and a
more pertinent point to note is that these garment engineers will make the industry grow
further. Thus, right now there is the minimum critical mass that can immediately employ all
the graduates (who will graduate only after 5 years!) and the demand is expected to sustain
the program for many years to come.
Moreover, there are also a number of job opportunities in other public and private sectors as
well as in non-governmental organizations for qualified garment engineers. The demand for
the program is therefore well supported by real needs of the country and the industry.

disciplinary skills. The students will study all the basic engineering and mathematical courses
to have foundational knowledge in the engineering. In the next stage, the students are
introduced to the textile engineering subjects to have a good understanding of the fibres,
yarns and fabrics, their manufacturing processes; this is essential as the graduate should
have thorough knowledge about the ‘raw materials’ of the garment industry in order to fully
exploit the potentials of various materials and the intricacies and effects on the garments. In
the next stage, the students are introduced to the core courses of the garment engineering
field viz. the cutting, sewing and finishing technologies along with design of garments and
pattern making fundamentals. At this stage, the students have to undergo a holistic
examination and the qualifying students will be eligible for Industrial Internship. The
industrial internship will enable the students to experience at first hand the principles and
practices that are prevailing at the shop floor level in a garment factory. The internship is
expected to provide the students the much required ‘hands-on’ experience. On successful
completion, the students further study the advanced courses which focus on developing
high level of practical skills for the improvement of product quality, productivity,
documentation procedures, and quality and maintenance management systems. Side by
side, the students are imparted knowledge in the management aspects of the garment

industry with suitable courses and electives are introduced to choose a focus area. Finally,
the students will be required to work for a B. Sc. Thesis, in which the students are expected
to take specific scientific, industrial or related problems, collect the necessary data, conduct
necessary studies/experiments etc and come out with new insights for problem solving and
implement the suggested measures.

2. Apparel Quality Management (7th Semester)
3. Statistical Applications in the Garment Industry (7th Semester)
The quality of a product is of fundamental importance for the existence and the
further development of a company.
Quality is not obtained by subsequent inspections in which problems are
identified. Quality is obtains right at the work station. The employees have to be
instructed what quality is acceptable and what is not, making a subsequent
inspection superfluous. Possible problems have to be addressed by further
instructing the responsible employees.
Quality is the watchword of modern industry. The field of Garment and Textiles
is no exception to this rule. Quality Management is not just testing and
interpretation of test results. The subject on Quality Management covers the
various foundational aspects on the Quality Management detailing the systems
required for obtaining highest levels of quality in textiles.

interest; he should collect the necessary information, conduct various
studies and experiments and so on in order to find out feasible solutions.
This process will make the student to realize the full potential of his

education in the practical field of application. The ‘theoretical’ knowledge
gained so far will become ‘practical’; the more elusive concepts learnt
earlier would become more concrete and meaningful. The student from
being a learner is transformed to a problem-solver.
