Establishing an Advanced Techniques Course in Biotechnology

Joseph Chappell university of Kentucky Res Fdtn FY1995 $15,000 ILI -仪器项目：生命科学标题：建立生物技术高级技术课程生物技术在当今世界具有巨大的影响，并有望增长。为了我们的未来，这项技术的持续成功和负责任的实施需要一个对技术有知识的公众以及熟练的劳动力。六年前，肯塔基大学农业学院启动了一个本科学位课程，以满足这些需求，并作为吸引和留住学生的一种手段，在一个令人兴奋的科学学位课程中。农业生物技术学士学位的目的是培养学生在细胞和分子生物学和基因工程的现代领域，并为他们在公共或私营部门的技术工作机会，或为研究生和专业学校的高级学位课程做好准备。高级实验技术课程对于强调技术及其在科学问题中的应用的课程是必不可少的，也是使学生接触更广泛的科学努力和概念的重要手段。目前的申请要求为购置这样一门高级技术课程的设备提供支持。本课程旨在以跨学科的方法探讨当代生物科学问题，并努力激发学生的解释性思维能力。

Joseph Chappell DUE 9552381 U of Kentucky Res Fdtn FY1995 $15,000 Lexington, KY 40506 ILI - Instrumentation Project: Life Sciences Title: Establishing an Advanced Techniques Course in Biotechnology Biotechnology is having an enormous impact in today's world and is expected to grow. The continued success and responsible implementation of this technology for our future requires a public which is knowledgeable about the technology as well as a skilled work force. Six years ago, the College of Agriculture at the University of Kentucky initiated an undergraduate degree program to serve these needs and as a means of attracting and retaining students in an exciting science degree program. The purpose of the B.S. degree In Agricultural Biotechnology is to train students in modern areas of cellular and molecular biology and genetic engineering, and to prepare them either for technical job opportunities in the public or private sectors, or for advanced degrees programs in graduate and professional schools. Advanced laboratory techniques courses are essential for a program that emphasizes technology and its application to scientific questions, and is also an important means of exposing students to a greater range of scientific endeavors and concepts. The current application requests support for the acquisition of equipment for such an advanced techniques course. This course Is designed around an Interdisciplinary approach to a contemporary issue In biological sciences and strives to stimulate interpretive thinking skills.
