 Curriculum

Ceramics were the first engineered materials. From the humble beginnings of clay-based pottery, ceramics are now at the heart of nearly every modern technology. Ceramics play pivotal roles in electronics (from computers to cell phones), in transportation (from roadways to vehicles), in defense systems (from armor to guidance systems), and in environmental technologies (from catalytic converters to diesel-engine filters). Ceramic engineers are needed to design, develop and manufacture improved ceramic materials. As part of the New York State College of Ceramics, our Ceramic Engineering program is internationally recognized as a leader in ceramics education and research. Over 1/3 of the Ceramic Engineers in the United States have at least one degree from Alfred University. As a student in our undergraduate program, you'll learn about ceramics processing in the very first semester. In the following semesters, a blend of classroom and laboratory experiences will help you gain the skills and expertise needed for a career in the ceramics industry. The experience will culminate with a senior thesis project where you'll work one-on-one with a faculty advisor to conduct independent research to develop new and improved ceramics. |
