The goal of the course �Network and Chemistry� for undergraduate students in the Department of Chemistry at Harbin Institute of Technology is to learn about how the internet works and how to use it to search for chemical information.  Because of the widespread use of English in the internet, the course is taught in English as part of the �Plan to Step to a World-Class University� program at Harbin Institute of Technology. The �Invitation of Foreign Experts from World-Class Universities� program from the Chinese Central Government allowed Harbin Institute of Technology to bring Professor Douglas Loy from University of Arizona in the summer of 2012 to teach the course and provide more insight into optimal utilization of the internet.  Each student was required to research some topic regarding the internet and present a 15 minutes powerpoint lecture in English to the rest of the class. This format helped the students attain a deeper understanding of the subject matter and served to refine their English skills applied to searching on the internet, organizing their class presentations, and speaking in front of an audience.
