Moreover, the environmental impact due to leather products ,leather industry optimization also comes under the shade of this very leather engineering.
Things taught in leather engineering
Under leather engineering, the subject is taught mainly based on three prominent branches which are :Manufacturing, footwear and leather products. Based on these branches , the students study a number of courses .Courses like leather chemistry , fluid mechanics ,tanning chemistry , math , physics ,organic chemistry , industrial chemistry , computer programming and applications ,electrical and electronic engineering etc are taught under this subject.
Bangladeshi Universities where leather engineering is taught
In our country , this subject is taught in two universities which are:
1.Khulna University of Engineering and Technology(KUET)
2.Dhaka University`s Institute of Leather Engineering and Technology(LLET)
In ILET ,there are three different departments of manufacturing, footwear and leather products.And students can study in these three individual departments.
But in KUET,The course curriculum of leather engineering is built based on these three different departments.
Great prospect of the leather industry in Bangladesh!!
Bangladesh is positioned 4th in exporting products of leather among the exported products all over the world.There are great possibilities of leather industry in our country as every year we get leather prominently from our EID-ul-AZHA livestock sacrifice.Being a Muslim country our manufacturers avail this opportunity prominently. This upholds a lot of job opportunities .Companies local and branding such as BATA,APEX,BAY,LOTTO etc companies are flourishing day by day due to the unwavering progress of leather products not only in our country but also abroad.
Career prospects as a leather engineering graduate
A leather engineering graduate has ample opportunities to build up a shining career. Showering light to our private sector, there are a lot of jobs as a product designer,product analyzer , system optimizer in branded leather companies like BATA , APEX ,LOTTO ,BAY etc. Besides in our Hazaribag area there are a lot of shoe industries where a newly graduate can work and excel .These companies claim that they are not getting skilled and competent public in their office works.This can be met up by our enthusiastic graduates for the betterment of our industries.In the government sector , a leather engineering graduate can work in administration , technical and foreign caders .BCS exam can be a prominent option to have an entrance to these government jobs.Maintaining a good CGPA can allow an individual to be appointed as a faculty in universities where leather engineering is taught and a graduate can practice as a tutor.
Higher Studies in leather engineering!!
A leather engineering graduate can uphold his higher studies in a great number of potential fields like environmental engineering , chemical engineering , polymer science and engineering , material engineering etc.There are lots of opportunities of research in these fields and also in the field of leather engineering in foreign countries.
Lastly, to say that leather engineering is undoubtedly a good field to build your desired career. It is a great subject by which you can contribute to the leather market in our country and thus create a good impact to our society and our country.In our economy, leather as a product holds a significant position and by no means it can be neglected and in this issue our leather engineering graduate can play crucial roles.
