Abstract
This Conference is explicitly addressed to both ceramic engineering and ceramic science. Our sessions are concerned with national problems which are broad and complex in scope and with the role that ceramic engineers and ceramic scientists can play in the solution of these problems. Emphasis naturally falls on engineering because it is usually the engineer who works directly in helping to solve technical problems, but the scientist has a contribution to make also.
