CERAMIC ENGINEERING, UNIVERSITY OP ILLINOIS

courses dealing with the planning, construction and operation of the various types of industrial plants required in the different ceramic industries, and also special courses describing the machinery and operations involved in the mining of the ceramic raw materials and in the molding and shaping of the products, are offered by the Department of Ceramic Engineering. In addition to the more technical courses described above, the curriculum in Ceramic Engineering also makes provision for training in the English language and literature, and in at least one foreign language. On completion of the four-year curriculum, the student is given the degree of Bachelor of Science in Ceramic Engineering. In addition to the undergraduate curriculum in Ceramic Engineering, the department also undertakes, by means of more advanced courses in ceramics and in its underlying sciences, to provide the necessary training to qualify its students to attack successfully and solve the manifold problems and difficulties which arise in the various ceramic industries, and to improve existing products and discover new ones. The graduate work offered by the department leads to the Master's degree and to the Doctor's degree in either chemistry (Ceramic Chemistry), or engineering, according to the lines of work pursued. Scholarships and Fellowships are available for properly qualified students pursuing graduate courses in the department.*
