The purpose of this article is to discuss the key points and teaching measures in polymer rheology course in engineering colleges. The main idea proposed is that the lecture should set its basement on polymer physics

and serve to polymer processing technology

and the practical applicability shall be emphasized. Polymer rheology is the key course linking the other ones in polymer major. It is different to the general rheology courses

and is of its own features. It is suggested that the polymer rheology course shall be taught more practically rather than theoretically in engineering colleges. However

the introduction to classical theories of rheology is also necessary

which will lead the top students going deeper. In this article

the popular textbooks both in Chinese and in English on polymer rheology were briefly reviewed. Some viewpoints on how to teach polymer rheology were proposed too.
