随着我国科学技术的发展和教育水平的提高,包装工程高等教育也取得了长足的进步,同时也给教学提出了新的要求。教育部提倡用外语对公共课和专业课进行教学,很多高校在包装工程专业教学上已采用双语(主要是中英文)。目前双语教学的模式主要采用以英文教材作为主要参考书,老师用中英文讲授的课堂教学方式。然而,目前国内包装工程方面的英文教材较少,在某种程度上限制了双语教学的发展。
本书为英文教材,共分8章,即包装综述、包装材料、包装容器及制造工艺、包装技术、包装设计及印刷、包装物流和包装测试、包装标准与法规、包装整体方案设计与执行过程。全书选材新颖,内容连贯。为拓展学生的知识面,各章正文后面都配有与本章内容紧密相关的阅读材料。同时,附录内容提供了部分包装行业和教育信息,如考虑到学生进一步深造的需要,增加了国内外知名院校的介绍等。既可作为包装工程专业教师、大学本科学生学习专业基础课双语教学或专业英语教学用书,也可作为从事本行业及相关行业专业技术人员学习国外先进技术、提高业务能力和专业英语应用水平的参考用书。
