4. System of Evaluation
The quality of the study process is controlled by discussing the results at the
meetings of the department of Clothing and Textile Technologies, and at the meetings
of Institute and Faculty boards.
Academic progress of the students is evaluated according to the 10-grade system
(Resolution of RTU Senate No. 402, 24.04.1995) in the exams and course papers, and
2-grade system in tests. Examination is conducted in written form according to RTU
Senate Resolution of Taking examinations in RTU, adopted in 1998.01.26 and
1998.03.30. As of 1st of September, 2010 new regulation “On evaluation of study
results” comes into force (Resolution of senate No. 539, 29.03.2010), which envisages
written or oral, composite or electronic taking of examinations. Exam questions are
set up and delivered to students in time by the lecturer of the subject, coordinating
with the leading lecturer.
Tests are provided and realized in many study courses in order to motivate the
students in acquiring knowledge regularly.
The practice is organized according to the practice directions of the study prorector of RTU. At the end of the practice students’ reports are presented and the
commission, set by the head of the department, evaluates them.
At the end of every examination period, the questionnaire of students about the
quality of study process is organized. The questionnaire is voluntary and anonymous.
The filled out questionnaire forms are left in a special box. The included questions
concerns the evaluation of the lecture quality, practical and laboratory works in the
study subjects, as well as quality of the exam questions, teaching and test efficiency
and conformity of lecturers (competence, personal qualities). The questionnaire
results are discussed in the meetings of the department and described in the annual
self-evaluation reports.
Employers are being involved in the quality control of the study program.
Representatives of employers take part in the reviewing of Master thesis and in the
commission of awarding the professional qualification. The actuality and novelty of
the project topics and the quality level of theoretical and practical part of the projects
are discussed with the representatives of employers. The discussion results are used in
further development of the study program.
5. The practical implementation of the higher education program
5.1. Applied study methods and programs
The work forms of studies are lectures, practical and laboratory works,
workshops, study projects and practice. By developing the recourses of Textile
Materials Technologies and design institute, different technical means are used in the
process of studies: projectors, OHP, video players, sample collections, posters and
diagrams. Students are able to obtain study materials and lecture summaries prepared
for copying in most of the study courses. By developing the web portal ORTUS,
students and lecturers are able to use its e-learning section more actively, thus study
materials can be put and used digitally. It significantly raises the efficiency of study
process, as students already have acquainted themselves with the contents before the
lecture and are capable of wholesome work.
Electronic mail is used in communication with lecturers, during the development
of the Master thesis. Thereby part of consultations are realized extramurally.
9
Students inform about the aims and results of their research during the scientific
workshops and express their opinion about the work of their group mates. Discussions
are very significant part of the study process. The developed study projects are
presented and discussed. Thus students learn not only describing the results of their
research, but also evaluating their group mate works and distinguishing the
development potential of the projects.
5.2. The involvement of students in the scientific work
The scientific work is important part of the study process. Students acquire
skills of scientific work already during the Bachelor studies. Research methods in
designing and optimization of apparel and textile technology are included in Master
studies. Students choose the theme of the Master thesis according to the fields of
scientific research of our lectures:
“The improvement of clothing construction methods”, “Designing of Smart clothing”
– prof. A ViĜumsone;

Five textile technologies courses (4 CP) from 7 available have to be chosen obligatory:
The technology of Yarns
Weaving technology
Knitting technology
Non-woven materials and recycling of raw materials
Composite materials
Textile chemistry
Clothing technology
The master program Textile Technologies and Textile Management in Reutlingen University
of Applied Sciences after three year Bachelor studies provides two year Master studies. That
is one semester less compared to studies in RTU, where Professional Bachelor studies last
four years, but Professional Master Studies last 1.5 years.
The Master Programs Textile Engineering and Engineering of Clothing and Polymer
Products in Kaunas Technological University provide 2 years studies after 4 year Bachelor
studies. During the first three semesters students acquire study courses on average 14 CP
every semester, as well as the research project (6CP). In the last semester students develop
the final Master thesis (20CP).
Total study time at Kaunas Technological University is longer for a semester. That is equal to
3 research projects developed, single every semester. Research skills are supplemented in
following subjects: Methodology of Research and Specialized seminars of research work.
The greatest part of study courses in the study program of Kaunas Technological University
is included in the compulsory core. The distribution of courses in compulsory and limited
electives in the Reutlingen University of Applied Sciences is similar to the course division in
RTU, but at the same time, our program offers much wider selection: total amount of study
courses with 54CP are offered, from which students have to choose total 18 CP courses. The
nomenclature of study courses essentially is not different. Mostly those are subjects related
with acquirement of new materials and progressive technologies.
The Master program in Kaunas Technological University does not provide practice, which is
included in the program of RTU according to regulation No. 481 of Cabinet of Ministers
“Regulations about the state standard of the second level higher education”.
6.3. Results of the employers’ questionnaires
Textile Technologies and Design Institute of RTU carried out the
questionnaire in the branch enterprises to clarify what kind of specialists are necessary
for Latvian producers to work successfully in the existing conditions of labour
market.
12
From more then 700 textile enterprises in Latvia, questionnaires were sent to
the 80 largest companies.
The missing specialists are designers, constructors, technologists, production
managers, marketing specialists, high level managers, but
the extended knowledge in design and management of production processes, logistics
and marketing.
Taking into account the development project of the textile branch and the
results of the employers’ questionnaire, following textile industry strong points and
development options were set out:
- the processing of fine cotton fibres and production of cotton fabrics;
- the production of fire-resistant woolen and wool mixture fabrics, the production of
woolen and wool mixture yarn for knitted fabrics;
- the production of flax fiber and fabrics, etc;
- the production of large size clothing and clothing for disabled persons.
In order to develop of the use of local textiles organization knowledge of individual
sewing workshops should be given in the sphere of design and management of
production processes.
In the sphere of clothing design the improvement of industrial design should
be achieved in protective clothing and coveralls, underwear, swim-wear, sunbathingwear.
The results of the questionnaire will be used to define future themes of the
Master thesis. New research courses have been started with suggestion from light
industry enterprises, which are also included in the themes of Master Thesis. Those
are:
• Production possibilities of flax and hemp fiber;
• Individualized production of apparel;
Improvement of special apparel designing.
The average demand of new specialists during next 6 years could be 15-20
people per year.
7. Students
Matriculation in study program Clothing and textile technology was started in
academic year 2008/2009. In the first year six students were matriculated and
financed by state budget, total amount of students were 11, but in the year 2009/2010
- 11 students. It is planned to matriculate 15 students in the academic year 2010/2011.

(Germany) is used to design textiles and clothing. They are modern automatized
designing systems widely used in the branch enterprises in the world. Specialized
computer engineering is also used in the lab: large size digitizer and a plotter for
printing patterns.
Versions of software TexDesign (Germany), LECTRA (France), GRAFIS
(Germany) were updated and new “3D Fit" module for software LECTRA was
purchased during the period of report, which carries out in plane designed apparel
"trying on" on the virtual 3D dummy. This program is available only in RTU inbetween all Northern and Eastern region universities.
Using the funds of European Social Funding, DTCT special literature library has
been significantly extended, including standards of research methods.
Important investment has been made into IT development and provision
improvement. Every lecturer in DTCT has his own work place, connected to internet.
Interactive study portal www.ortus.rtu.lv has been developed and students and
lecturers of the institute actively utilize it. Students may obtain all necessary
information in this portal during the study process. Current learning materials
(annotations, requirements for successful passing the course, lecture plans, materials,
necessary literature, etc.), information on student’s progress and passed subjects,
urgent notifications, library information, access to scientific literature and data bases,
e-mail, etc. is available in the portal. It is possible to communicate with every lecturer
and course mates in this portal. Discussion forums have been created in the portal and
regular polls take place. Portal was introduced in 2007 and since then non-stop
improvements are made.
10. Public relations
10.1. Collaboration with employers
The department has good cooperation with many employers. The chairman of the
