Program Offerings & Curriculum
Degrees, Outcomes & Curricular Prospectus
Bachelor of Science in Ceramic Engineering
Description of Program
The Bachelor of Science in Ceramic Engineering program is an engineering discipline that studies the structure, properties, processing, and applications of traditional and advanced inorganic and non-metallic materials including bio-mimic materials that are generally processed at an elevated temperature into useful products.
The program is a four-year degree course that intends to prepare highly competent graduates who will assume leadership roles in the technological and socio-economic development of both local and foreign industries in the field of ceramic materials, particularly in the areas of research, development, manufacturing, maintenance, and operation.
