The students thereby discover the Materials World we all live in andrealize the importance of materials in everyday objects.With each example of an engineered object, the most important or key property of the objectmust also be identified. For example, a plastic water bottle is an example of an engineeredpolymer product, and the key property for the liquid container could be low weight, flexibility, ortransparency. Materials selection is thus incorporated into the activity. The students mustdetermine what the key requirement for the application is, and connect the type of material thatsatisfies that requirement. Table

The methodology has the potential to define anew paradigm for instruction in rapidly-evolving fields such as molecular simulation,computational chemistry, biochemical engineering, and materials science. Our immediate aimhas been to initiate a World Wide Web (WWW)-based “textbook” on molecular simulation, andto introduce it into the graduate and undergraduate chemical engineering curricula at ourrespective institutions.

The VMDrivercontrols the transfer from the virtual machine to the host machine and vice versa. TheWorkstation establishes a switch called world switch between the VMM and the host world.

Adding more difficulties for an instructor in such a teaching/learningenvironment is the extremely dynamic change of students’ profile of a class from semester to semester.As such, the learned experience from one semester might not be applicable for a new semester. Therefore,it is extremely important for a professional education school/center to have a proper e-learning or e-education system in place to manage students’ personal information, and help instructors improve theirteaching effectiveness in light of using appropriate and real life examples for a class.
