The Ceramic and Materials Engineering Department is committed to provide qualified students with a relevant education in Ceramic Engineering preparing them for a productive and rewarding career. While this mission is consistent with the overall mission of the University and the School of Engineering. The Department focuses on providing an education that is both learning and practice oriented. With its high faculty to student ratio, the Department provides unique course options, extensive laboratory experiences, along with research and co-op internships that have adapted to the changing requirements of employers and graduate schools.

Through continuous feedback from students, alumni, industry and employers the Department has developed a curriculum that emphasizes basic science, engineering and design. But moreover, the curriculum provides lexibility and diversity in allowing students to select areas of concentration that are in the forefront of technology today.

Within the scope of the CME mission, the objectives of the Ceramic Engineering Program are to produce graduates with an education relevant to current science and engineering, and an education that will lead to a productive and rewarding career. Furthermore, objectives of the program are to produce graduates who;

1. practice ceramic engineering in a broad range of industries including ceramic materials production, and have an extended knowledge of management, photonics and optical materials, or nanomaterials.
   
2. engage in advanced studies in ceramic materials, ceramic engineering and related or complementary fields of study.
   
3. able to function independently and in teams and are proficient in written, oral and graphical communication.
   
4. are capable of responding to societal, ethical, environmental and engineering constraints to improve the global quality of life.
   
5. are capable of recognizing the need and responding to a rapidly expanding knowledge base through life-long learning.

Please comment on the following:
1. Do you believe that the Mission of the Department is appropriate? If not, how would you change it?

2. Do you believe that the Educational Objectives of the Undergraduate Ceramic and Materials Engineering Program meet the needs of engineers graduating today? If not, what changes would you recommend?

Thank you very much for your input!
