Overview

During the Ceramic Engineering program of Alfred University you'll gain the expert knowledge and complex skills needed to thrive in a highly dynamic and competitive industry.

Key Facts

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 design, develop and manufacture improved ceramic materials.

The Ceramic Engineering program prepares graduates for careers as engineers in the ceramic industry and related materials fields. As part of the New York State College of Ceramics, the Ceramic Engineering program is internationally recognized as a leader in ceramics education and research. As such, our graduates are highly sought after by companies that develop and manufacture ceramic materials. Many of our graduates are leaders in the field -- in industry, in academia and in government laboratories.
