Course Objective

This course aims to
-familiarize the students with the methods of advanced ceramic technology,
-help students to understand the importance of preparation of powder raw materials and its treatment in correct form for the use of relative processing methods,
-equip students with theoretical and experimental abilities in processing, with emphasis on the fundamental scientific and engineering principles,
-help students to develop a sense of awareness relating the impact of microstructure on properties of ceramics.
