Ceramic and Materials Engineering (CME) Click here to get the current curriculum Ceramic and materials engineers design, develop and participate in the manufacture of both standard and new materials intended for use in a wide variety of industries with diverse applications, including • Bricks, tile, glass and steel for construction • Optical fibers for phone lines • Lasers for gun sights • Glass insulation for attic and walls • Electric capacitors, glass and insulating substrates for radios, stereos, TVs, microcomputers and cellular phones • Insulators and cables for electric power lines • Dental materials, bio-implants and prosthetic devices • Insulating materials for spacecraft The broad scope of industrial responsibilities assumed by ceramic and materials engineers requires knowledge in mathematics, science, engineering and the social sciences; skills in problemsolving, engineering analysis and design; and an aptitude in written and oral communication. Clemson's B.S.CME program integrates laboratory with classroom experiences to prepare students for lifelong learning. Courses covering thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanical behavior, processing and characterization of materials prepare students for careers in industry and for graduate school. Polymer & Fiber Chemistry Click here to get the current curriculum Clemson's polymer and fiber chemistry program and textile materials program are among the most established and respected in the nation. Classes are small, with emphasis on academic excellence supported by practical experience gained both in applied labs and through interaction with the area's many polymer, fiber and specialty textile materials industries. The B.S. programs emphasize science and new technology for tomorrow's smart fibers, fabrics and materials. Students graduating with a degree in polymer and fiber chemistry are also well prepared for graduate studies in material sciences or engineering. Undergraduate research, a senior research class and numerous in-class group projects enable students to test their skills and understanding, while industry trade shows, site tours and professional conferences provide valuable networking opportunities.
