CERAMICS DEPARTMENT I-IAS NEAR RECORD ENROLLMENT Laboratory projects give students valuable experience. Ceramic Engineering is concerned with the forma- tion of products from non-metallic earthy mate- rials by thermal changes. Options include refrac- tories, glasses, abrasives, whitewares, enameled wares, structural clay products, cements, limes, and plaster. During the past year, the Ceramic Engineering Department had a near record en- rollment. Graduate students numbered 14 includ- ing IO Ph.D. candidates, while undergraduate en- rollment was up a substantial percentage over the previous year. The vast majority of the under- graduates' training is handled by teachers holding Ph.D. degrees. A number of new scholarships and fellowships were added by industries intent on at- tracting top students to this rapidly growing field. Approximately thirty-five thousand dollars worth of new instructional and research equipment was acquired to offer students training and experience with the latest tools and methods. Doctor Day instructs the class on atomic structures. as
