Description
In this interdisciplinary module, student groups of 2 to 3 members design a personal protective textile solution for a defined user and risk situation. Each group selects one area of protection, such as cut protection, protection against biohazards, UV protection, electromagnetic radiation, fire, or extreme cold.
Students analyze the protection requirements and develop a textile and garment design concept. This includes a critical analysis and clear justification of the chosen fibres, materials, fabric structures, and garment design, based on functional, comfort, and safety requirements.
The project integrates knowledge from textile engineering, garment technology, design, and safety. In addition to protection and comfort, students must address sustainability and recyclability in their material and design choices. The focus is on concept development and technical reasoning, not on producing a certified protective product. The project concludes with a well-argued design proposal and a short reflection on feasibility and limitations. Assessment
The project is assessed through:
- Group presentation (30%), presenting the design concept, material choices, and key arguments
- Comprehensive written report (70%), 1,000 to 2,000 words, documenting the analysis, design decisions, justification, and reflection |
