S的目的农业生物技术学位是培养学生在细胞和分子生物学和遗传工程的现代领域，并准备他们无论是在公共或私营部门的技术工作机会，或在研究生和专业学校的高级学位课程。高级实验室技术课程对于强调技术及其应用于科学问题的课程至关重要，也是让学生接触更广泛的科学努力和概念的重要手段。目前的申请要求支持为这一高级技术课程购置设备。本课程是围绕一个跨学科的方法来设计的当代问题在生物科学，并努力激发解释性思维能力。

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.
