Department Presentation

ENIM's Textile Engineering Department (DGT) is the unique department in Tunisia in its specialty. Created in 1992 following a strong need expressed by socio-economic players in the sector at the time, notably CETTEX and FENATEX.

Textile Engineering is the specialty that affects all other disciplines, namely: chemistry, materials science, mechanics, medicine ... And this, to give birth to flexible fibrous materials. Apart from the fact that it is used in clothing, textiles also enter into the protection of individuals and the environment, in furnishings to give rise to technical textiles such as geotextiles, textiles for industrial use, intelligent textiles, textiles. medical...

* Since 1996, ENIM has delivered 1,500 Diplomas in Textile Engineering over 26 years until 2021. (Research unit: Materials and Textile Processes called MPTex)

Accreditation of the study program

The DGT study program is EUR-ACE accredited over 6 years by European organizations, namely the Commission for Engineers' Titles, which has made it easier for us to open up to the international market.

International cooperation with the Textile engineering department

Our department cooperates with a multitude of higher education institutions within the framework of several types of exchange mechanisms such as:

* Double Degree with ENSAIT Roubaix France (GEMTEX research laboratory)
* Double Degree with ENSISA Mulhouse France (LPMT research laboratory)
* By doing international semesters with institutions in:
