Ceramics Although the ceramic industry is over 4,000 years old, the scientific aspects of manufacturing and rapid industrial progress have developed only in the past half century. Along with this accelerated rate of development, ceramic engineer- ing education was begun and helped in the rapid advancement. Ceramic En- gineering is concerned with the manufacture of commercial products from non- metallic, earthy raw materials by firing operation. The following fields ol manu- facture are included: structural clay wares: refractories and fire brick; porcelain enantelware, glasswares: electrical porcelain; dinnerware; abrasive wheels; and

The curriculum of the ceramics department provides for a study of the fundamental sciences and allied engineering subjects, as well as all branches of ceramic engineering. Graduates are prepared for such indus- tries as Portland Cement, lime, gypsum, glass, enameled ware, abrasives, refrac- tories and clay products industries. The Missouri Clay Testing and Research laboratories are operated in connection with the Ceramic Engineering Depart- ment, which allows ceramic students to gain an intimate knowledge of standard testing methods and research procedure.
