Being aware of the rising demands of glass and ceramic materials in Bangladesh, the Ministry of Education of Bangladesh granted funds for the establishment of Glass & Ceramic Engineering Department (GCE) in Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (RUET), Rajshahi. Finally the department came into being with academic activities on 23rd April, 2010 through the guidance of University Grant Commission (UGC). GCE dept. aims to develop the students with the specialized knowledge & experience required to practice as professional glass & ceramic engineers in glass and ceramic sector in Bangladesh as well as in abroad or to pursue a course of advanced study.

Almost every major engineering achievement has been made possible by advancements in materials. Ceramics were the first engineered materials. From the humble beginnings of clay-based pottery, ceramics are now at the heart of nearly every modern technology. Ceramics play pivotal roles in electronics (from computers to cell phones), in transportation (from roadways to vehicles), in defense systems (from armor to guidance systems), and in environmental technologies (from catalytic converters to diesel-engine filters). Ceramic engineers design, develop and manufacture improved ceramic materials.
