Ceramic Engineering
Ceramic Engineering is a branch of engineering that focuses on the design, production, and application of ceramic materials. These materials are typically inorganic, non-metallic solids that are made from compounds such as oxides, carbides, and nitrides. Ceramic engineers work on creating products that can withstand high temperatures, resist corrosion, and provide electrical insulation.
The field encompasses various applications, including pottery, tiles, and advanced ceramics used in electronics and aerospace. Ceramic engineers also study the properties of these materials to improve their performance in different environments, making them essential in industries like construction, manufacturing, and healthcare.
