Students worked on modern sewing equipment; reinforced theoretical knowledge with practical skills in developing clothing patterns using CAD systems "Julivi", "Investronica", "CLO3D"; introduced new clothing models into production; compiled a technological sequence for manufacturing products of various assortments and purposes, etc.
Students got acquainted with the structure of sewing enterprises of various capacities and the features of production process management, organization of workplaces and technological processes, as well as ways of their improvement depending on the range of sewing products, materials and accessories for their manufacture. Working in teams provided an opportunity for students to strengthen professional and general competencies in business communication, teamwork, the ability to conduct a discussion in the field of light industry technologies; independent performance of typical professional tasks; use of modern information systems and technology, general and specialized software in professional activities; performance of engineering calculations necessary for professional activities, adhering to known methods and current regulatory documents; formation and defense of one's own ideological and public position, act socially responsible and conscious, etc.

Students worked on individual projects, developed and optimized the processes of manufacturing products in production conditions, analyzed the latest materials and production methods. Thus, student Karina Arendar gained valuable experience through research internship at a sewing enterprise of a long-term partner of KNUTD "FLAXPOL" (Kluczborg, Republic of Poland). During the internship, the student had the opportunity to familiarize herself with the requirements of European quality standards and certification of protective clothing, participate in improving the production processes of special-purpose suits, and also develop and manufacture a product based on modern European sewing production.
