Glass
Engineering Science (GES)
Bachelor of Science
Glass has been used for thousands of years--in drinking glasses, storage bottles, prized decorative objects, and jewelry. Glass has the same uses today, but has become a truly high-technology material used in sophisticated windows that control light and heat, in fiber optics for high-speed communication, and in advanced medical treatments such as bone-setting materials. Engineers and scientists who understand glass and its production are needed by the glass industry and companies who use glass in their processes
The Glass Engineering Science (GES) program at Alfred University is unique; there simply isn't another program that offers undergraduate degrees in Glass Engineering or Science. As a first-year student, you'll be introduced to glass processing in our materials processing laboratory. In subsequent semesters, you'll develop expertise in the science and engineering of glass through a blend of classroom and laboratory experiences. In your final year, you'll get to showcase your talents by conducting independent glass research in collaboration with a faculty advisor as part of our senior thesis requirement.
The Glass Engineering Science program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
