INTRODUCTION
Ceramic engineering is the science and technology
of creating objects from inorganic, non-metallic
Materials. As ceramics are heat resistant, they are
Used in a wide range of industries, including mining, Aerospace, medicine, refinery, food and chemical
Packaging industries, science, electronics, industrial
And transmission electricity, and guided light wave
Transmission

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR CERAMICS ENGINEERING
Conducts research, designs machinery, develops processing techniques, and directs technical work concerned with manufacture of ceramic products: Directs testing of physical, chemical, and heat-resisting properties of materials, such as clays and silicas.
Analyzes results of test to determine combinations of materials which will improve quality of products.
Conducts research into methods of processing, forming, and firing of clays to develop new ceramic products, such as ceramic machine tools, refractories for space vehicles, and for use in glass and steel furnaces.
Designs equipment and apparatus for forming, firing, and handling products.
Coordinates testing activities of finished products for characteristics, such as texture, color, durability, glazing, and refractory properties.
May specialize in one branch of ceramic production, such as brick, glass, crockery, tile, pipe, or refractories.
May specialize in developing heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials for use in aerospace, electronics, and nuclear energy fields.
