CBRAMIC ENGINEERING, UNIVERSITY OP ILLINOIS neering Department represent an investment of about two hundred thousand dollars. THE DEPARTMENT OF CERAMIC ENGINEERING The purposes and functions of this department are fourfold: First. It undertakes, upon the basis of a four-year curriculum in ceramic engineering, to train engineers for the direction and control of the various operations connected with the ceramic or clay-working industries and for the designing and construction of the necessary industrial plants. The courses included in the curriculum of ceramic engineering provide the necessary foundational training in mathematics and geology and in the two sciences, physics and chemistry, upon which ceramic engineering is largely based. In addition to the regular courses in general and analytical chemistry, which are given by the Department of Chemistry, more specialized courses in ceramic chemistry are given in the Department of Ceramic Engineering. These courses deal with the identification, classification and properties of ceramic raw materials; the composition and properties of the ceramic body and of glazes; the chemistry and technology of glass and enamels and of cements, limes and plasters; and the special applications of physics and chemistry to the materials and processes of the clay industries. General engineering courses in mechanics, mechanical engineering and mining engineering and in surveying are provided by the College of Engineering, and special engineering Twenty-three
