Ceramic Technology deals with the
study of the properties, design, manufacture, and applications of ceramic
materials. The ceramic designers are concerned with designing various types of
ceramic wares used in industries, institutions, households, corporate houses
and other places. Ceramic products include table and kitchenware, decorative
ware like insulators, flower vase, potters, building materials like tiles, etc.
Cement too is considered as one of the ceramic materials.
The study ceramic technology consists
of planning and developing processing systems, designing and construction of
plants and machinery along with other engineers, research and development of
the ceramic materials, planning and implementation
of processing methodologies, designs and development of various applications
like glass, porcelain, cement, composite materials, refractors, insulators, enamels,
cement etc.
Eligibility
The basic eligibility criteria is
10+2 (with Physics, Chemistry and Maths). Various engineering colleges offers
BE, B.Tech in ceramics of four years duration. The admissions are done through
a written test.
Job opportunities
There are great opportunities particularly
in private sector. In private sector, a person with a degree in Ceramic
Technology can be absorbed in various ceramic ware manufacturing units located
at various locations of the country. Generally, two types of workers are employed
in this industry – ceramic technologists and ceramic designers. The ceramic
technologists use the materials produced by complex chemical processes while
the ceramic designers use sand and clay for basic ceramic materials. One can
also start his/her own business and become an entrepreneur.
