This paper takes the dual-high program in Fashion Design and Technology at Hangzhou Vocational and Technical Col- lege as a case study to explore the construction of a practical curriculum system aimed at cultivating on-site engineers. By integrat- ing the characteristics of vocational education with industry demands, the paper analyzes the competencies required by the textile and apparel industry for on-site engineers and investigates how curriculum design and implementation can enhance students’ practi- cal skills and job adaptability. The study finds that the development of a modular, project-based, and industry-collaborative curricu- lum system can effectively improve students’ hands-on abilities and overall professional competence, ultimately contributing to the supply of highly skilled on-site engineers to the textile and apparel industry.

Laboratory testing in textile and apparel testing institutions is a crucial link in the textile and apparel industry chain. The competence of laboratory testers has a significant impact on the accuracy and reliability of test results, which in turn affects the healthy development of the entire industry. Based on the competency theory, this paper constructs a competency model for labora- tory testers in textile and apparel testing institutions through conventional methods such as behavioral event interviews and ques- tionnaires. The model encompasses four dimensions: basic qualities, technical skills, behavioral traits, and psychological attributes. Detailed analysis of these dimensions can provide a scientific basis for the selection, training, assessment, and career development of professional and technical personnel in textile and apparel testing institutions, thereby enhancing the overall level and competi- tiveness of the textile and apparel testing industry.

After many years of efforts, specialized fiber inspection system has basically been established, the facilities and equip- ment conditions have improved significantly, and the institution's ability level has been continuously consolidated, providing strong support for the quality supervision of cotton and other natural fibers. However, it should be noted that some specialized fiber inspec- tion institutions still face challenges in terms of institutional attributes, funding guarantee and performance methods, which restricts the improvement of fiber quality supervision efficiency. Natural fibers such as cotton are important materials related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and their quality is directly related to the vital interests of traders such as agriculture, industry and commerce and consumers. The specialized fiber inspection institutions have special characteristics in terms of work object, position, and method. In the new era and new journey, we should further improve the working mechanism of specialized fiber inspection institutions, continuously strengthen the professional and public welfare attributes, and promote high-quality development with a high-performance quality governance system.

In this paper, the stability of microwave method and resistance method in moisture regain test of baled cotton is analyzed. It is pointed out that the moisture regain test of baled cotton is considerably affected by ambient temperature and humidity, and neither resistance method nor microwave method can eliminate the influence of ambient temperature and humidity, which shows that the conditioned weight of baled cotton is not constant, and the CV value of the conditioned weight of baled cotton exceeds 0.5% under different temperature and humidity conditions. On this basis, the paper analyzes the "profit and loss" of the conditioned weight of Xinjiang baled cotton, and suggests optimizing the settlement method of the conditioned weight of Xinjiang baled cotton, that is, to revise the origin conditioned weight of Xinjiang baled cotton, and the difference of the conditioned weight should be resettled. In this way, reduce the trade disputes caused by the large difference of baled cotton conditioned weight between the supply and demand, and maintain the fairness and justice in the settlement of baled cotton trade.
