Foothill College and its partners are developing a four-year curriculum development project in advanced technology education entitled "Cases in Industry Practice in Biotechnology" (CIPB) to address the critical need for a trained workforce in the rapidly expanding biotechnology industry in the United States. In active partnership with local industry, the project is first developing an on-line infrastructure that permits industrial partners to participate in the development of biotechnology instruction; this infrastructure is then being utilized to develop three casebooks containing six industry-based teaching cases that help students in biotechnology programs gain practical insights into the skills required for research and development, intellectual property, manufacturing, production, quality assurance/quality control, and clinical studies. These materials are being used in classrooms at the high school, community college, and university levels with over l OO,OOO students nationwide and are suitable for use within industry employee training programs. This project addresses the two most significant shortcomings in contemporary biotechnology education programs: a lack of active involvement from industry participants in the instructional process itself, and a dearth of high quality biotechnology education curriculum materials. The unique time and resource limitations that characterize the workforce of young biotechnology companies make it necessary to explore a variety of methods for getting industry involvement and buy-in into the biotechnology education process. Core partners in this effort include representatives from industry and education. By preparing students with the requisite biotechnology workplace skills--beyond biotechnology content knowledge--the project's materials promote a wide range of career opportunities in the field for high school, community college, and university students nationwide.

Foothill学院及其合作伙伴正在开发一个为期四年的高级技术教育课程开发项目，题为“生物技术行业实践案例”，以满足美国迅速发展的生物技术行业对训练有素的劳动力的迫切需要。 该项目与当地工业界积极合作，首先开发一个联机基础设施，使工业伙伴能够参与生物技术教学的开发;这种基础设施，然后被用来开发三个案例书，其中包含六个基于行业的教学案例，帮助学生在生物技术方案获得实际的见解，所需的技能，研究和开发，知识产权，制造，生产、质量保证/质量控制和临床研究。 这些材料被用于高中、社区学院和大学的课堂，全国有超过100，000名学生，适用于行业员工培训计划。 该项目解决了当代生物技术教育项目中最重要的两个缺点：行业参与者缺乏对教学过程本身的积极参与，以及缺乏高质量的生物技术教育课程材料。 独特的时间和资源限制，年轻的生物技术公司的劳动力的特点，使其有必要探索各种方法，让行业参与和买入到生物技术教育过程。 这一努力的核心伙伴包括工业界和教育界的代表。 通过为学生提供必要的生物技术工作技能-超越生物技术内容知识-该项目的材料促进了全国高中，社区学院和大学学生在该领域的广泛职业机会。
