Ceramic engineering is the branch of science which deals with the art of creating objects from non metallic and inorganic materials (ceramics) by the action of heat. The process includes purification of raw materials, study and production of chemical compounds, their formation into components and the study of their structure, composition and properties.

Ceramic materials hold a crystalline structure. Special properties of ceramic materials make it applicable in areas like materials engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering and mechanical engineering.

Bachelor of technology in Ceramic Engineering is an undergraduate course in technology. The course includes the essentials of ceramic engineering. Professionals in this field can find various job opportunities in areas including mining, aerospace, medicine, refinery, food and chemical industries, packaging science, electronics, industrial and transmission electricity, and guided light wave transmission. They can find jobs both in India and overseas. After completing their under graduate level of education graduates can also join for higher studies.
