COURSE DESCRIPTIONS• BIOT 164A- Biotechnology Seminar I (2credits)
Explores current issues and topics related to biotechnology. Development of productive learning techniques and establishment of a learning community will be covered. Review, discussion and presentation of the social, medical and ethical considerations of biotechnology.
• BIOT 164B- Biotechnology Seminar II (1 credit)Continues topics presented in BIOT 164A. Current issues and topics related to biotechnology will be explored. Current literature will be read, reviewed and discussed.
• BIOT 164C- Biotechnology Seminar III (1 credit)Continues topics presented in BIOT 164B. Current issues and topics related to biotechnology will be explored. Current literature will be read, reviewed and discussed.
• BIOT 164D- Biotechnology Seminar IV (1 credit)Continues topics presented in BIOT 164C. Current issues and topics related to biotechnology will be explored. Current literature will be read, reviewed and discussed. Class visits to various laboratory sites.
• BIOT 263/263L-Biotechnology Laboratory Techniques I (4 credits)Presents theory and techniques of volumetric, gravimetric, chromatographic and spectrophotometric analysis, laboratory safety, documentation, and GLP (good laboratory practices) are emphasized.
• BIOT 264/264L- Biotechnology Laboratory Techniques II (5 credits)Provides experience with various research/manufacturing tools and protocols used to characterize and manipulate nucleic acids. Techniques include tissue culture, PCR, RT-PCR, gel electrophoresis, hybridizations (southern and northern), cloning and sequencing.
• BIOT 265/265L-Biotechnology Laboratory Techniques III (5 credits)Applies concepts and techniques begun in 264/264L to the characterization of proteins. Techniques include protein isolation, denaturing and nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, 2-D gel analysis, recombinant protein purification, and column chromatography.
• BIOT 274L- Bioinformatics and Proteomics (3 credits)Introduces the data management systems associated with DNA and protein information gathering, organization, and retrieval. Extensive use of Internet resources, search protocols, and data analysis.
• BIOT 296- Biotechnology Topics (1-6 credits)Explore various topics of interest in the field of Biotechnology
• BIOT298-Internship (12 credits)Provides an internship with a research or manufacturing laboratory. Internship locations vary based upon availability and student interests. This course will provide students with actual work experience prior to graduation.
