The Conference on Emerging Priorities in Ceramic Engineer ing and
Science, held at Alfred University, November 4-6, 1974, was
arranged to provide a basis for reassessment of professional goals,
procedures and outlook. American priorities among comfort, safety,
national prestige, security, convenience and environmental quality
are significantly different from those of a dozen years ago.
Economic factors have shifted, as exempli fied by scarcities in
energy, mate rials and world food supplies. At the same time,
demands for safer products, healthier work ing conditions and
fairer rules of behavior are making them selves felt. Governmental,
corporate and consumer interests are all involved and they are
intricately inte rrelated. Higher education, for its part, must not
only respond wisely to changing student attitude, itself a part of
the national scene, but must gain perspective toward the present
and toward changes of yet unknown nature which can be expected in
the future. Persistent and pointed questions from engineers,
managers, and students were an indication to us of wide-spread
concern to understand the new pattern of priorities that is
presently emerging. In response to this need, Conference papers
were invited from distinguished engineers, scientists, and other
specialists; their willingness to contribute from their expertise
and their thinking is very much appreciated by the editors. The
first four chapters of the volume deal with the larger scene and
with the viewpoints of those concerned with it in behalf of
government, corporations and the professions."
