Packaging engineering is a multidisciplinary subject intersected by materials science and engineering

food science and engineering

mechanical engineering and art. Polymer materials course is one of the basic theoretical lessons. In this paper

the position and role of polymer materials course in packaging engineering education were discussed through analysis the course content relationship among packaging materials science

packaging technology and packaging printing science etc. with polymer materials. And the important contents of polymer materials course were studied based on the knowledge structure and specialty demand for packaging engineering specialty. Several teaching methods were presented according to the weak chemical foundation of students.
