What do ceramic engineering graduates do?

Ceramic engineers find job opportunities in Missouri and around the United States, in large and small companies that manufacture ceramics (such as Corning, Inc., Kohler, Alcoa, PPG) or that use ceramics in many applications (Caterpillar, Boeing, 3M, GM, etc.). Small, cutting-edge technology companies hire ceramic engineers to manufacture optoelectronic materials, biomaterials, and materials for advanced energy applications. The principles of materials chemistry learned by ceramic engineers are useful in other disciplines and ceramic engineering graduates find opportunities with companies that manufacture electronic materials (MEMC, Motorola, etc.), metals, and polymers. Graduate programs in Materials Science & Engineering, Ceramic Sciences, and Applied Sciences, accept Ceramic Engineers. These advanced degrees lead to research and teaching opportunities in universities, national labs, and industries around the US.
