 Mission
Statement To establish a high quality forum relevant to the needs of global industry and higher education that will provide leadership in the timely dissemination of information dealing with all aspects of textile and apparel, technology and management. |
As a significant part of ITT’s move to the Centennial campus of North Carolina State, the ITT Textile Education Foundation established an endowment to provide scholarships for ITT Fellows enrolled in the College of Textiles (COT) Master of Science in Textiles program. To be accepted into the ITT’s Fellows’ program, applicants were first admitted into the Master of Science in Textiles degree program of NCSU. Fellowships were then awarded based on their academic achievements, an interest in industry research topics, and a desire to provide leadership to the textile and allied industries.

Each
ITT Fellow receives a $10,000 non-service fellowship for the 9 month
academic year, and is expected to participate (for pay) in a summer project
in the industry. The tuition and fees for all Fellows are provided through
the ITT Textile Education Foundation.
The ITT fellows program worked together to
create a graduate program at NC State that incorporates these aspects. The
ITT Fellows program utilizes courses, research, independent study, seminars,
workshops, and intra-sessions to provide students with the
technical, management, communication, and problem-solving skills required
for leadership
within industry. Special courses, course segments, and seminars are provided
by the College of Textiles and ITT faculty to integrate course material
through problem-solving exercises, Communication skills are developed
through ITT faculty as part of the traditional Technical Advisory Committee
(TAC)
research program requiring presentations of thesis proposals, technical
papers, and thesis results at biannual TAC meetings.
The COT/ITT alliance Fellow program is one of three major objectives
of the College of Textile/ ITT alliance.
The second objective of the alliance is to facilitate
industry driven applied research through pooled resources including faculty, facilities,
and
funding.
The NCSU/ITT Research Consortium has been established on the mechanism
to
achieve research goals.
The third alliance objective is to provide student
seminars.
This seminar series focuses on topics such as competition in
manufacturing, trade, profitability engineering,
implementation of research derived innovation, and state of the art
manufacturing practices.
