TOP SKILLS FOR CERAMIC ENGINEERING GRADUATES/STUDENTS
( BOTH FRESHER AND EXPERIENCED )
CERAMIC ENGINEERING GRADUATES
If you want to be a ceramic engineer. Here are some details and skills required for a ceramic engineer. It is one of the rarest courses in engineering. For ceramic engineers thereof two opportunities in both private and public organizations, etc.
WHAT IS CERAMIC ENGINEERING?
It is the branch of engineering which deals with the science and technology of making objects from inorganic materials, non-metallic materials and this can be done by the action of heat or at a lower temperature using precipitation reactions from chemical solutions. Different industries make use of ceramics, including electronics, telecommunications, dentistry, astronomy, physics, and chemistry. The work requires a clear understanding of the available materials as well as the needs and control of their applications.
WHAT CAN I DO WITH CERAMIC ENGINEERING DEGREE?
Ceramic engineers enlarge the mechanism for processing nonmetallic inorganic materials into various products like fibre optics, pollution control devices, components of nuclear fuel, heat tiles for space shutters and supersonic space plants, lasers, superconductors, glassware, coating for space vehicles. Ceramic engineers are used in the field of making gas burner nozzles, ballistic protection, biomedical implants, nuclear fuel uranium oxide pellets, jet engines turbine blades, aircraft engines etc..,
