The unique focus ofchemical engineering on molecular transformations, processes, products, quantitative analysis,and multi-scale treatment of problems provides an ideal platform for productive interactions witha wide range of other science and engineering disciplines at boundaries that are among the mostexciting technology areas of research today. A multi-scale approach should be understood in thiscontext as the process of relating the chemical composition of a material to its properties, whichare often determined on larger length and time scales than those

It isnecessary to find an alternative teaching strategy in engineering courses, particularly forconveying scientific principles to real situations. To assess innovative methods for solving theproblems and limitations of the traditional teaching model in chemical engineering andbiomedical engineering, a half interactive hands-on learning experiment, half lecture-teachingmodel is being explored. In this process, having the aim of a better understanding and absorptionof key principles and difficult concepts in fluid mechanics and neuronal membrane physiology,we are combining multimedia technology with whiteboard and hands-on tabletop units.A Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer course
