FAQ's
Q: What is the difference between ceramic engineering and ceramic and glass design?
A: Ceramic engineering is the science and technology of creating objects from inorganic, non-metallic materials. This is done either by the action of heat or at lower temperatures using precipitation reactions from high-purity chemical solutions while the Ceramic and Glass Design course offers tremendous expressive qualities in the domain of art and creativity as well as functional possibilities in the realm of craft, architectural spaces, healthcare, hospitality industry, home décor, hi-tech products, and lifestyle product categories.
Q: What is the scope of the Ceramic and glass design course?
A: opportunities regarding this course. Job prospective is vast and a graduate can land a job in many MNC companies as well as can work as a consultant
Q: Can a Candidate pursue a Design Degree without a science background?
A: Yes absolutely a nonscience background student can make a career in designing irrespective of the previous background.
Q: What is ceramic?
A: The products of ceramic are penetrable, hard, and delicate. So they are used to make pottery, bricks, tiles, cement, and glass. They are also used in gas turbine engines space shuttle program, ballistic protection, bio-medical implants, etc.
