COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES: tr/design/product-
development
This course provides the fundamental concepts of fashion product development. The course
also gives input for analyzing components of fashion product making process. The course
intends to develop analytical skills involving concepts relating to fashion design,
anthropometry and sizing, pattern making, seam construction and operations for fashion
product development. The objective of this course is to inculcate the skills and analyze
fashion product development process in detail.
COURSE OUTCOMES:
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to achieve the following outcomes:

COs Course Outcomes POs
