This project offers a new hands-on laboratory course in Advanced Ceramics Processing, to complement the lecture course that is now required. The laboratory offers a distinctly hands-on course as an elective to be taken by over 40 students each year. To accomplish this, three high-quality, durable, user-friendly items of equipment are being acquired. A zeta potential analyzer quantitatively characterizes the interactions between particles. A spray dryer provides experiments in various powder preparation methods and for the preparation of special powders. An injection molding apparatus enables students to explore the variables and fabricate small items using the injection molding process. These experiments are combined with others that can be performed with presently available equipment. This project has two major pedagogical effects: (1) the students are able to extend classroom ideas to a hands-on laboratory experience; and (2) a stronger processing-properties relationship is established.These equipment items bring to a critical mass the amount of equipment needed to offer this important laboratory course in advanced ceramics processing.

这个项目提供了一门新的高级陶瓷加工动手实验室课程，以补充现在所要求的讲授课程。该实验室提供了一门明确的实践课程，作为一门选修课，每年有40多名学生参加。为了实现这一目标，正在购买三种高质量、耐用、用户友好的设备。Zeta电位分析仪定量描述了粒子之间的相互作用。喷雾干燥器为各种粉末制备方法和特殊粉末的制备提供实验。注射成型设备使学生能够探索变量，并使用注射成型过程制造小物品。这些实验与其他可以用现有设备进行的实验相结合。这个项目有两个主要的教学效果：(1)学生能够将课堂想法扩展到动手实验室体验；(2)建立了更牢固的工艺-性能关系。这些设备使开设这门高级陶瓷加工这门重要实验室课程所需的设备数量达到了临界值。
