Science and Programming in Python is intended for students with little or no programming experience. It aims to provide students with an understanding of the role computation can play in solving problems and to help students, regardless of their major, feel justifiably confident in their ability to write small programs that allow them to accomplish useful goals. The class uses the Python 3.5 programming language. II. Bio-inspired engineering is the application of biological methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology. The biology-inspired design uses analogous biological phenomena to develop solutions

There is no doubt that more engineering course materialsand associated teaching and learning tools can be online and easily accessible from anywhere in theworld. Change in the tools we use to teach and practice design will affect the way we teach, learn, andpractice mechanical design. Lifelong learning with computer and Internet tools will become easier andnecessary in the global market.
