Chemistry departments, through a variety of courses and programs,provide opportunities for students to explore the nature and significance of chemistry forknowledge about ourselves and the world around us [17]. The chemistry field, as a major area ofstudy, provides excellent preparation for graduate study in chemistry, biochemistry, chemicalengineering, environmental sciences and the medical sciences. It can also be useful to thosewhose later professional or business career may be related to chemical materials or processes. This implies that in developed countries, faculty research projects and curriculum involveundergraduate participation. Thus, the developmental role of chemistry becomes wellpronounced appreciated and adequately

product is essential for producing a successful design. The best way to appreciate that fact at an early stage in your career is to manufacture a design yourself. The lessons to be learned are universal. Don’t expect your design to work on the first try. Leave a lot of time for testing. Complicated designs take a lot longer to build and have a lower probability of success. If you have a choice of manufacturing a part yourself or buying it, buy it.” [48, p. 311]Other references have worked on providing algorithmic ways to approach creativity in design;e.g. [49].
