Course Objective

Smart and Interactive Garments are getting more and more attention in recent years and have a great potential in the field of textiles. The smart/interactive textile structures that integrate electronics and textile materials and the materials that react to the external stimuli physically and chemically have been developed. These products, which are called 'the garments of the future', involve different functions such as protection, actuation, communication etc.
This introductory course begins with a general overview of the Smart Clothing and continues with related technologies about designing and producing the clothes having various interactive properties.
Design technologies, humanistic and ergonomic needs about interactive textiles, high-tech applications such as conductive fibers and yarns for various industries are also examined.
A three-week long project study will be given and the evaluation will be used for measuring the understanding and designing ability of the students about smart and interactive garments.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Gaining a general information about smart and interactive garment design
2   Improving the design ability about smart and interactive garments.
3   Improving the knowledge relationships between high technology applications and smart garments
4   Providing an advanced ability to combine the multidisciplinary applications into a complex product.
5   Gaining a comprehensive information about designing a smart garment prototype by a term project
