Preamble Alumni

Preamble

Alumni: The term Alumnus (plural Alumni) derives from Latin and means "pupil" or "offspring." For many years the graduates of a university have been termed Alumni. This neatly expresses the closer and more lasting connection than one which is only for the duration of the study programme.

The annual award ceremony

Ramona Maria Jasny received the award of the Association “Verband der Rheinischen Textil- und Bekleidungsindustrie“ for her outstanding thesis, awarded by Prof. Dr. Kleinebrink.

Her master’s thesis “Analysis of the impact of different washing programs and detergents as well as softeners on the microplastic release of synthetic textiles”, was supervised by Prof. Dr. Rabe in cooperation with Henkel, where she is now starting her professional career. The master´s thesis dealt with the topic about microplastic from household washing machine. At the beginning a method was developed to investigate microplastic emission from synthetic textiles. Subsequently, the impact of different washing parameters on microplastic release was analyzed.

 

Johanna Sophie Peselmann received the award of the Textile and Fashion Network e.V. for an outstanding thesis in 2020/2021.

Her master’s thesis “Sustainable Procurement and Nearshoring: Development of a Procurement Guide and Empirical Review” was supervised by Prof. Dr. Eigenstetter.The master’s thesis deals with the question, how nearshoring can be a part of a sustainable procurement strategy. Therefor different production countries were analyzed to answer this question. Furthermore, the CO2 emissions and working conditions were rated. In addition, interviews have been performed with experts of the clothing industry. A counterintuitive result shows, that nearshoring offers less sustainable advantages than offshoring, than one would first expect. The conclusions were implemented into a procurement guide for sustainable procurement.

The award was consigned by our Dean Prof. Dr. Vossebein.

The faculty council is the highest decision-making body of the faculty and is responsible for all matters related to studies, teaching, examinations and research. In order to perform its duties, the faculty council may elect, appoint or delegate committees, representatives, commissions, task forces and working groups.

Laboratories

The Faculty of Textile and Clothing Technology is proud to be able to provide a high number of excellently equipped laboratories to its students and project partners. This would not be possible without the close co-operation and active support by the industry. Due to long lasting co-operations and partnerships with companies practical problems of the economy are discussed and analysed in the university own laboratories and technical centres. The co-operation and the know-how of the enterprises on the one hand and the profound theoretical knowledge of the University of Applied Sciences on the other hand enable a consistent, application-oriented science which develops new technologies determinedly and efficiently. 

The close reference to practice through applied and close-to-practice science and the possibility to research creatively create and optimum the study environment and offer excellent conditions for the close-to-practice education and research. Important focal points are the applied research and the development of textile technologies. In this way,  learned theoretical knowledge can be applied precisely and in a solution-oriented way in various projects.

In the Faculty of Textile and Clothing Technology students as well as pupils from schools can gather information on apprenticeship offers and career chances in textile and clothing enterprises on two days. With over 100 national and international exhibitors and more than 7000 visitors the fair has established itself in the branch. On two days it pictures the whole textile value chain from fibre extraction to the textile finished product. Due to an ambitious and demanding programme consisting of subject-specific presentations, seminars, workshops and matching-conversations MG ZIEHT AN ("MG dresses and attracts) is a unique event and an extraordinary contact platform offering a chance to get to know many employers. Also the industry benefits from the possibility to recruit young academics. Especially the live-events and exciting fashion shows with collection developments of prospective Bachelor and Master graduates of the faculty demonstrate the excellence of the University of Applied Sciences. 

The innovation and recruitment fair MG ZIEHT AN ("MG dresses and attracts") which takes place every second year is supported by the Association of the German Textile and Fashion Industry (Gesamtverband der deutschen Textil- und Modeindustrie e.V) which launched the campaign „GO TEXTILE!“ in 2009. GO TEXTILE! presents all employment areas of the textile industry and highlights the chances of sustainability for the industry in the future. Organisers are the Faculty of Textile and Clothing Technology as well as the Economic Sponsorship of the City of Mönchengladbach (Wirtschaftsförderung der Stadt Mönchengladbach (WFMG)).

KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER 

MG OPEN SPACES is an exchange platform which frequently picks up innovative topics from the textile and clothing research. The conference method Open-Spaces is based on the fundamental idea of self-organisation known from biological systems. Participants from various areas of expertise can work interdisciplinary and actively on different topics in a pre-defined frame and therefore gain new knowledge which may not necessarily be confined to their subject area.

RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM - MG OPEN SPACES is an active conference method which is offered at the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences since 2012 in a two-year-rhythm. The interdisciplinary knowledge exchange offers insights beyond one's own field of knowledge and sensitizes for other fields of knowledge. MG OPEN SPACES is an answer to the question how a cross-linked textile world can communicate much better. The new platform for knowledge exchange expands the scope of action and offers the possibility to the vistiors to explore topics of foreign branches and to make use of those for their own research purposes. Many participants from Germany and the Netherlands, professors and academic staff from various universities of applied sciences and research institutes as well as students find inspiration in MG OPEN SPACES. Diverse topics such as „Digital Worlds“ in the product development and in areas of fashion as well as sustainability in the textile and clothing industry are discussed and worked on under the guidance of experienced moderators. The conference method requires active participation by all attendees and cross-links different fields of knowledge.

KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER - MG OPEN SPACES creates a knowledge transfer between economy and science. Representatives of enterprises are enthusiastic and report on their practical experience,  which provides a welcome new stimulus for  the scientist. MG OPEN SPACES sensitizes them for various topics and expands the horizon of knowledge in fields of foreign branches. The event shows problems and solutions which can be transferred to the professional reality.

Connecting the future

Twelve application areas cover the whole spectrum of all application opportunities of modern textile technologies at the trade fair "Techtextil" (corresponding) ("Techtextile") which takes place in Frankfurt every other year. The Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences is present on this fair with its own stand. The booth of the University of Applied Sciences is a central venue for many textile enterprises from all over the world. Nowhere else is it so obvious how many former students from Mönchengladbach work for international companies. With its core focus in the area of technical textiles the Techtextil (corresponding Techtextile) is an obligatory event for the university's own research institute.

Techtextil (corresponding) (Techtextile), May 2017: „Connecting the future“ Prof. Dr. Eberhard Janssen and Prof. Dr. Lutz Vossebein present the wide variety of textile expertise of the Faculty of Textile and Clothing Technology, of the FTB - Research Institute for Textile and Clothing and the Public Textile Testing Institute. You can see new developments such as puncturing sensors, luminous facades, 3D simulation or step-index-fibres. Moreover, also general information on the degree programmes at the Faculty of Textile and Clothing Technology can be found. The stand, which is about 60 square metres large, is shared between the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences, the company Textechno based in Mönchengladbach and the Austrian enterprise Lenzing Instruments, both producers of measuring and testing equipment for fibres.

Prof. Dr. Michael Ernst attends the fair with his own stand presenting the Virtual Lab of the Faculty, showing the next generation of product development, which is more and more digitally influenced. Hereby, the focus is put on the areas of avatar configuration by the help of body scanning technologies, recording of material parameters for the simulation, virtual prototyping and the implementation of technologies in an industrial product development process which are realised by the help of the latest 2D and 3D CAD technologies.

Also at the stand of Epson Germany the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences is to be found The enterprise shows efficient production processes for textiles. There, a team of students, supervised by Prof. Dr. Marina-Elena Wachs, shows possibilities of virtual product development in terms of mini collections. More precisely, it deals with the transition of originally white pieces of clothing to finished colourful collection pieces with digital printing patterns. Also the manufacturing of a shirt in a mini production chain is shown. Hereby, the whole decision-making process is important. Also a virtual runway is demonstrated. 

TECHTEXTIL

HEIMTEXTIL

garn

Fair for home textiles

"Heimtextil" (corresponding) ("Home Textiles") is the largest international trade fair for home and object textiles and the worldwide measuring unit for quality textiles with design and innovative functionality. In co-operation with Rooms for free e.V the Faculty presented itself many times as leading European University of Applied Sciences in Design to the international trade fair public. In special shows the students and graduates show their works of textile and surface design.

Mönchengladbach - Frankfurt, January 2017 "Die Schönheit im Design" (corresponding) ("Beauty in design") How does design change in the age of Industry 4.0? What meaning does the term "beautiful design" have in a functional and completely designed world? And how will our understanding of beauty change in the year 2020 compared to the renaissance, when beauty was defined in particular by the relation of proportions? The Master course in the degree programme Design Engineers at the Faculty of Textile and Clothing of the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences dealt with these questions.

Also Evgenia Guliev exhibits there. The Master student was recently awarded with the Epson International Design for Living Award and is now rewarded by the opportunity to present her design „Modern Nostalgia" on the Heimtextil (corresponding) (Home Textiles). In her design Evgenia Guliev connects oppositional aspects like graphic forms and natural flowers and merges them into a statement about contrasts and harmony. "Hereby, she shows us a new way of synergy and sympathy between different design terms" says Prof. Dr. Marina-Elena Wachs, who supervised the project.

„Modern Nostalgia" is present on the stand of Epson Germany GmbH on the Heimtextil fair (corresponding) (Hometextiles Fair). Other works of students of the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences which have also been printed in the Epson Solution Centre in Meerbusch in a an energy and resource respecting way can be seen on the runway as well as in an exhibition in Paris. The enterprise works together with the Faculty of Textile and Clothing of the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences in order to present the possibilities of digital production of textile materials. The company invited four excellent students from four countries to show their creations on the Epson trade fair stand within the scope of its ‚Design-for-Living' campaign.

Sewing with electrically conductive yarns
Award Ceremony

Mönchengladbach, June 2017

Since about a year the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences owns a sewing machine which can process electrically conductive yarns. The custom-product which was financed by the funds of the Wilhelm-Lorch-Stiftung (corresponding "Wilhelm-Lorch-Foundation") is still in a prototype state. Within the scope of her Bachelor thesis „Experimentelle Evaluation der Funktionalität einer neuartigen Zierstich-Nähmaschine sowie 3D-Modellierung der Stichvariationen mit der Software TexGen“ (corresponding "Experimental evaluation of the functionality of a new ornamental stitch sewing machine as well as 3D modelling of the stitch variation with the software TexGen") student Nora Brinkert explores the functionality of the machine and develops a manual for its usage. At the trade fair "MG zieht an" (corresponding) ("MG dresses and attracts") she was awarded for her work by Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Kleinebrink, manager of the "Verband der Rheinischen Textil- und Bekleidungsindustrie" (corresponding "Association for the Niederrhein Textile and Clothing Industry"). Nora Brinkert documents seams, stitching variations and 3D modellings with functional yarns with her videos and measuring protocols. The thesis was supervised by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Kerstin Zöll.

"ECOPOLIS"

Mönchengladbach, June 2017

For her Master thesis "ECOPOLIS - Nachhaltige Designstrategien in Mode- und Textildesign für das Leben in der Stadt von morgen“  (corresponding "ECOPOLIS - Sustainable Design Strategies in Fashion and Textile Design for the life in the city of tomorrow") Theresa Brinkmann received an award from Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Kleinebrink, the manager of the Verband der Rheinischen Textil- und Bekleidungsindustrie (corresponding "Association for the Niederrhein Textile and Clothing Industry"), at the trade fair „MG zieht an“ (corresponding "MG dresses and attracts"). Her final thesis deals with sustainable fashion and resource responsible lifestyle concepts for "Ecopolis" - the city as central living space of the future. The Master thesis of Theresa Brinkmann can be understood as counter-concept against today's prevalent fast fashion. "It deals with high-quality fashion produced from renewable resources and innovative materials, in a small but versatilely combinable "capsule collection". The final thesis is a very good example for sustainable, aesthetically demanding textile design", explains supervisor Prof. Dipl.-Des. Ellen Bendt.

Mönchengladbach/Frankfurt, January 2017

How does design change in the age of Industry 4.0? What meaning does the term "beautiful design" have in a functional and completely designed world? And how will our understanding of beauty change in the year 2020 compared to the renaissance, when beauty was defined in particular by the relation of proportions? The Master course in the degree programme Design Engineers at the Faculty of Textile and Clothing of the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences dealt with these questions. The results can exemplarily be seen at the trade fair "Heimtextil" (corresponding) ("Home Textiles") in Frankfurt am Main. Among others, also Evgenia Guliev, who was awarded with the "Epson Internationl Design for Living Award", exhibits there. In her design Evgenia Guliev connects oppositional aspects like graphic forms and natural flowers and merges them in a statement about contrasts and harmony. "Hereby, she shows us a new way of synergy and sympathy between different design terms" says Prof. Dr. Marina-Elena Wachs who supervised the project as well as the digital implementation together with the company Epson Germany GmbH.

Hike and Knit
Wanderstiefel

The first knitted hiking boots in the whole world were developed by Master student Nicole Swoboda within the scope of her Master research project "Hike &Knit“ in co-operation with the Austrian company "Dachstein Outdoor und Lifestyle GmbH“ and its Italian manufacturers "Mac Tecno Materials“ und "Calzaturificio Skandia S.P.A.“. The highly functional surface material is knitted, adapts to the foot millimetre precisely and offers solid strength. Based on the "natural-walking"-principle the tough handy Vibram®  Motionflex-sole with its own flexible zones was developed. Below the water-repellent and abrasion resistant AeroKnit-surface material Dachstein applies its own DryDS-membrane. It makes the sports shoe water-repellent and breathable at the same time. Because quality assurance is an important part of the Dachstein product development the Super Leggera DDS is manufactured in Europe.

Upcycling

Upcycling

At the international textile fair "Heimtextil" (corresponding) ("Home Textiles") in Frankfurt am Main Michael Wolf, Master student of the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences, was awarded      the prize of the category "Up-cycling-Objects". The young academics prize "Young Creations Award: Up-cycling" stands for sustainability. The aim is to create new and high-quality products from waste products and old materials and to up-cycle the material. Wolf received the award endowed with 2500 Euro for his design work "Inemuri hitotsu". Inspired by the Japanese culture of public sleeping the Master student designed a table cover which functions as place of retreat in a public area. Wolf based his design concept on the principle of "Mottainai", which means: to waste nothing, which is completely in line with sustainability. The fabrics were woven on historical weaving looms, the filling was produced of up-cycled textile wastes. Hence, the usage of recycled material is reasonably combined with an innovative design idea.
