xi 1 THEODORE J. PLANJE , Department Chairman .Professor of Ceramic Engineering 1946, 1955, B.S. in Ceramic Engineering 1940, Missouri' School 0fMif1es- PhD 1950 Missouri Checking temperature with an optical py rometer Ceramic engineering is that branch of engineering concerning the manufacture of pro- ducts utilized from non-metallic inorganic ma- terials, the processing of which employs high temperature reactions. The curriculum of the Ceramic Depart- ment affords Well-rounded study of the funda- mental sciences and allied engineering subjects, as well as all branches of ceramic engineering. A prospective ceramist begins developing his technique by practical application of his classroom studies with the aid of semi-commer- cial equipment. The theory of firing and dry- ing, nature of ceramic raw materials, pyrom- etry, and physical properties of ceramics no longer remain entirely in the classroom. Spe- cial equipment is used in the laboratories to acquaint the student with modern methods of industry in developing and improving the tech- nique and the product. CE D15 E 24
