Abstract

Ceramic Engineering or Ceramics has existed as a separate academic discipline in the United States for over ninety years having been founded to ensure the application of the principles of chemistry to the fabrication of ceramic products. With the maturation of the traditional ceramic industries, including refractories and glass, and the growth markets of high technology ceramics for electronic and structural applications, the requirements of a ceramic engineering education are undergoing rapid change. The current status of the ceramic industry and its impact on education and the ceramic education infrastructure are reviewed. Within this framework and the property and structure emphasis unique to ceramics, a model undergraduate degree curriculum is presented.
