What is the scope of ceramic engineering?




“Ceramic Engineering is the technology of creating non-metallic & inorganic objects having crystalline structure, through the process of heat, or precipitation reactions at the lower temperatures.”
Ceramics are used in the gas burner nozzles, Space Shuttle program, ballistic protection, bio-medical implants, nuclear fuel uranium oxide pellets, jet engine turbine blades, and missile nose cones.
There is lots of opportunity in private & public sector. You can make your career in various domains such as
Medicine
Optical fibers
Construction
Sports
Electronics
Airplane
Military
Transportation.


A graduate in ceramic engineering can find numerous job opportunities in various domains like medicine, mining, aerospace, food and chemical industry, electronics, refinery, Industrial & Transmission Electricity and Guided Light Wave Transmission. Other domains where a ceramic engineer can find job opportunities are:
Engine components manufacturing units
Sanitary ware Industry
Design firms
Glass bulbs factory
Ceramic ware manufacturing units
Cutting tools Industry
Construction services
Enamels factories
Research and testing firms
Kitchen ware Industry
Table ware Industry
Decorative ware Industry
Job Profiles of a Ceramic Engineer


Ceramic engineer can find job in various production industries of hospitals, research laboratories. Some of the job profiles of a ceramic engineer are:
Ceramic Technologist
Construction Manager

What are the differences between smart materials, composite materials and nano materials?

Image
Smart materials are at least dual function, composites are materials composed of dissimilar phases or components (sometimes they’re called hybrid materials now), and Nano materials have been engineered on the Nano-scale Smart materials have multiple functions, which generally include sensor/actuator ability in addition to having form, or being able to support at least some structural weight. The classic example is Nitinol, which is a Nikcle-Titanium allow. After mechanical deformation (for example, bending), it can be heated up and will return to the pre-deformed structural shape. Lead-Zirconate-Titanate (PZT) is a ceramic, which responds to mechanical deformation by generating an electrical potential. In the reverse, an applied electrical potential leads to a geometric expansion of the material (actuator function). Composites are materials that are combinations of at least two different materials, which allow the engineering of desired properties (like tailoring mechanic

What is Materials Science and Engineering?

Image
        Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) combines engineering, physics and chemistry principles to solve real-world problems associated with nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, energy, manufacturing and other major engineering disciplines.         The interdisciplinary field of  materials science , also commonly termed  materials science and engineering , is the design and discovery of new materials, particularly solids. The intellectual origins of materials science stem from the Enlightenment, when researchers began to use analytical thinking from chemistry, physics, and engineering to understand ancient, phenomenological observations in  metallurgy and mineralogy .            Materials research covers a broad range of topics – the following non-exhaustive list highlights a few important research areas. Nanomaterials:         Nanomaterials research takes a materials science-based approach to nanotechnology, using advances in materials me

What is the future scope in metallurgy and material science engineering?

Image
Metallurgy is an old field of science and unconventional field of engineering, which students generally don't prefer because they think, this field is not in much demand. Actually, this field is the mother of every other field. Just imagine world without metals and non-metals. It's unimaginable. Modernization of the human race started due to discovery in this field. The big machines (mechanical), automobiles, chemical engineering , etc. Boom in new discoveries in Metallurgy gave boom in Industrialization, it will remain as an important branch of engineering and science. People will always use metal and non-metal for numerous purposes. Guess what!? In future there would be robots extracting precious metals on other planets. Imagine world without Iron, Steel, Copper, Gold, etc…., Technology of extraction, purification may change but the need of this field will always remain. Materials science is the branch of future, whether it's nanotechnology or polymers or composite
