This study addresses a critical challenge in textile design education: cultivating advanced proficiency in the engineering of complex patterns for digital Jacquard Weaving. Traditional curricula often fail to develop the abstract structural reasoning required for innovation in CAD/CAM-based textile production. This paper proposes and validates a novel interdisciplinary pedagogical model that leverages principles from structural music theory to enhance textile pattern design capabilities. The model's efficacy was tested in a quasi-experimental study involving 60 undergraduate textile design students. The experimental group (n = 30) received a 10-week module focused on translating musical concepts, such as rhythm and counterpoint, into complex weave structures and fabric compositions, while the control group (n = 30) followed the standard curriculum. Expert evaluation of the final Jacquard design projects—assessed for pattern complexity, originality, and technical execution—revealed that the experimental group's output was statistically superior (p < 0.05). The findings demonstrate that this cross-disciplinary training is an effective strategy for improving both technical and creative outputs in textile pattern engineering. This model provides a structured method for cultivating the advanced design skills required by the modern textile industry.
