Abstract—The aim of this paper is to get insight into the perception of students regarding the competencies, i.e., skills that are important for successful learning so that textile engineering education can be focused more on the improvement of the level of those competencies. The perception of students is observed at different levels of higher education and the differences are reported. The outcomes of this study pointed out that the emphasis on the skills important for success in learning is placed on methodological skills, especially “results orientation”. A conducted focus group research indicated the guidelines that should be used to increase the “results orientation”. The guidelines are applied in the curricula with very positive and stimulating outcomes.
