ITT Fellows Program at North Carolina State University
Dr. George Hodge, Director of Graduate Programs and Associate Department
Head TATM
The Institute of Textile Technology
(ITT) and North Carolina State University are partnering to offer the ITT
Fellows program beginning in the fall
of 2003 in Raleigh, North Carolina. ITT was founded in 1943 in Charlottesville,
Virginia. Over 500 students have graduated from the program with master’s
students in textile technology and the program has had 100% placement.
ITT is now moving to the North Carolina State Centennial Campus. The
ITT Board of Directors met in Raleigh, NC on April 24th and approved
the new program.
Students known as ITT Fellows will now undertake a program of study in the College of Textiles leading to a Master’s of Science in Textiles degree. ITT Fellows will also participate in non-credit activities such as seminars, plant trips, leadership training, and a summer internship experience. Each ITT Fellow will receive a full scholarship to cover tuition and fees and receive a non-service fellowship. ITT Fellows will include students entering directly from undergraduate programs and students sponsored by their textile employer to take an educational leave. The curriculum is 48 credit hours and includes a thesis. Students will take course work in areas of Yarn Processing Dynamics, Fiber Science, Textile Quality and Process Control, Total Quality Management in Textiles, Finance (with Textile Emphasis), Theory and Practice of Knitted Fabric Production and Control, Production Mechanics and Properties of Woven Fabrics, Nonwovens Technologies, Dyeing and Finishing, Research Methods and Management, and Supply Chain Management and Information Technology. The graduate credit courses will be taught by faculty in the College of Textiles.
