The expanding use of ceramic products in today's world can be seen in the areas of communications, construction, aerospace, textiles, metallurgy, atomic energy, and electronics. The demands of science have brought ceramics from an art to an industry using mass production and automated processes which requires the services of great numbers as the field expands more. This document was designed as resource material for the secondary industrial arts teacher to expand his courses with suggestions on: teaching methods, student activities, lesson plans, tests, and related topics. The contents are organized in nine chapters with numerous illustrations, under the headings of: Organization, Shop Management, Clay Technology, Plaster, Cement, Glass, Mass Production, Guidance, and Testing, together with an appendix of sources of teaching materials.
