Textile engineering is so fascinating! As an ME undergrad, I was a researcher for the Design of Active Materials and Structures Lab at the University of Minnesota, and they're doing super interesting work on smart textiles (primarily with Nitinol). It's wild how much the weave/knit/stitch affects the mechanical properties!
