In 1895 he entered Ceramic Engineering at Ohio State University, the world's first of its kind, and graduated in 1898 through service in the Spanish-American War. From 1899 to 1909 Worcester worked in the roofing tile industry as designer and engineer. From 1909-1912 he was a teacher in the Ceramic Department at Ohio State. From 1912-1914 Worcester designed and built a structural clay products plant near Calgary, Alberta. He returned to Calgary in 1918 and spent two years in the industrial field. Worcester arrived at the University of Saskatchewan to organize and open a department of ceramic engineering, the first of its kind in the British Empire. He was involved with the survey and testing of industrial minerals of Saskatchewan. He spent 26 years as head of the department, retiring in 1946. Worcester died 9 October 1972 in Ohio at age 96.
