  • 3.00 Credits

    3 hours. An introduction to electrical engineering, covering quantitative analysis of DC/AC circuits, power characteristics of single and polyphase AC devices, and design factors for electrically heated kilns and ovens. Amplification is studied through operational amplifiers and simple transistor amplifiers. The laboratory emphasizes basic measurements in electronic circuits and power devices. Prerequisite: PHYS 126. MATH 271 prerequisite or concurrent. CE
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 hours. This course introduces the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics and their application to materials systems. Prerequisites: CHEM 105, 106, MATH 152. CE
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 hours. This course studies the basic principles of high-temperature reactions and processes. The course is divided into several subunits: ternary phase diagrams, surface and interface phenomena, atomic defects in materials, diffusion, and sintering theory. Students will get a solid foundation in each of these areas as well as seeing the interrelation and importance of those principles with respect to a control of the microstructure and properties of materials. Prerequisite: CEMS 235 or CHEM 343. CE
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 hours. Successfully completing this course enables students to understand the nature of forces acing on objects and to calculate the stresses and strains generated by those forces in simple situations. Situations include classic beam loading as well as more materials-oriented cases such as stresses in dams and reinforced materials (e.g., concrete, composites). Courses of Instruction: New York State College of Ceramics 279 Applications to engineering design and to mechanical testing of materials are demonstrated. Students learn to calculate the variations of stress and strain using Mohr's circle method. Prerequisite: PHYS 125. CE
  • 4.00 Credits

    4 hours. The science and technology of whitewares covering mineralogy, raw material characterization, mixing, suspension behavior and control, rheology and plasticity, forming processes, drying, firing, the use of phase diagrams, thermal stress and microstructural evolution, mechanical properties, and glazing. This course provides the non-engineering student with the practical basis necessary for analyzing problems commonly encountered in the production of whitewares. Homework assignments are practical in nature. The project will require the application of the principles learned in class. Prerequisite: Junior standing in a non-engineering program. CE
  • 2.00 Credits

    2 hours each. These courses qualify students for the rigorous six week summer leadership camp at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Intensive studies in military skills and techniques are tested and evaluated in performance oriented scenarios throughout the year. Spring semester adds a demanding leadership dimension as the students plan, organize, instruct and lead the Base Course lab exercises. At least three overnight field exercises are required. (Fall and Spring Semesters)
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 hours. Processing ceramic materials into finished shapes ready for firing is discussed in terms of engineering unit operations and scientific principles. Topics include specifications of raw materials, characteristics of processing additives, particle packing, rheology, milling; mixing, filtration, sizing and spray drying, dry pressing, plastic forming, injection molding, casting processes, and drying. Examples of process systems used and control of defects are discussed. Prerequisite: CEMS 203. CE
  • 2.00 Credits

    2 hours. Measurement and analysis of commercially significant electronic components: ferrites, varistors, capacitors, resistors, non-ohmic materials, etc. Laboratory emphasizes real-world conditions, problem solving, and development of engineering judgment. Prerequisites: Junior standing and CEMS 221, or ELEC 220, or CEMS 352. CE
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 hours. This course provides the knowledge and working understanding of the chemical facts and principles involved in the synthesis of raw materials and the chemical fabrication techniques used in current industrial practice. The discussion focuses attention on both oxide and non-oxide ceramics involved in high-performance structural and electronic applications. The design of chemical processes is emphasized in assignments. Prerequisite: CHEM 106. CE
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 hours. This course provides technical information concerning the raw materials, processing, microstructure, properties and applications of the principal types of refractories and high-temperature insulations. Technological and engineering factors pertinent to manufacture, process design and control and design of refractory and insulation systems are presented. An understanding of current practice is used as a basis for recognizing refractory needs for design and applications, and areas for research and development of materials for future applications. CE
