Learning Bio-MicroNanotechnology Mel I. Mendelson Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, California, USA
“… a great combination of two key disciplines in the coming quarter of this century, biotechnology and nanotechnology. This will be a good guidebook for the academic adventure as well as a bible for the pioneer in the engineering and scientific field.” —Hideyuki Kanematsu, Suzuka National College of Technology
“… provides an excellent, multi-dimensional approach to learning that I have not seen in other nanotechnology textbooks. … I really like the multitude of ways the author has the students think about the material through problems, group activities, thinking exercises, etc.” —Kory Goldammer, Richland College
A primary text for undergraduate nanotechnology courses, this book is designed for students who lack a cross-disciplinary background and knowledge of micro- and nanotechnology. It contains many examples, questions, and problems divided into three hierarchical learning skills: understanding, analyzing, and evaluating the concepts. The author attempts to break down the boundaries between biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, and ethics by co-mingling the vocabulary and concepts of these disciplines around bio-applications. He emphasizes learning with thinking exercises, analogies, and study questions using Bloom’s taxonomy, team assignments, and assessment exercises.

Joel Plawsky
With the dramatic advancement of computer technology, chemical engineering students must have a firm understanding of complex transport phenomena analysis. Bringing together a wealth of professional and instructional experience, this graduate-level text focuses on current concepts of fluid mechanics, turbulent flow, and multiphase flow. It stresses a problem-solving approach that incorporates a reliance on the Computational Fluid Dymanics Code (CFD). The text presents one code at a time so that students fully understand the strengths and limitations of the technique.
This text provides a unified treatment of heat, mass, and momentum transport based on a balance equation approach. The first part of the book explores the balance equation in the context of diffusive transport. The second half builds upon the balance equation description of diffusive transport by introducing convective transport terms, focusing on partial rather than ordinary differential equations. A series of example modules are provided online on the author’s website.
