Development of an Undergraduate Laboratory-Based Biotechnology Program for the Next-Stage Post-Genomic Era

跨学科（99）该项目正在开发一个多学科的生物技术学士学位课程，重点放在方法论和伦理、社会政治和经济结果上，为学生提供必要的技能，以满足以下要求：(1)制药行业和学术界的入门级实验室职位，以及(2)进入研究型研究生课程。我们正在改编来自提供生物技术学士学位的机构的材料，包括：雪松学院、宾夕法尼亚克莱里昂大学、东华盛顿大学、伊丽莎白镇学院、费里斯州立大学、穆尔黑德州立大学、南缅因大学、威斯康星大学和伍斯特州立学院。新批准的生物技术学士学位课程在核心课程、社区服务、生物技术实验室实习和小师生比例的框架内为生物技术学生提供尖端技术培训。卡布里尼学院正在建造一座最先进的建筑，以容纳一个新的科学、教育和技术中心。生物技术项目将设在新中心。在第一阶段，该项目面向传统的本科生，重点是推广、招聘和录取。随着它的成熟，将从非传统学生和转学生中吸引更多的学生。参加卡布里尼教授的暑期课程“DNA与新千年”的地区高中教师将成为为该计划寻找新学生的附属学校过程的一部分。

Interdisciplinary (99)This project is developing a multidisciplinary B.S. Program in Biotechnology that places a heavy emphasis on both methodology and ethical, socio-political and economic outcomes to provide students with the necessary skills required for (1) entry-level laboratory positions in the pharmaceutical industries and academia, and (2) placement into research-based graduate programs. We are adapting materials from institutions offering a B.S. in Biotechnology including: Cedar Crest College, Clarion University of Pennsylvania, Eastern Washington University, Elizabethtown College, Ferris State University, Moorhead State University, University of Southern Maine, University of Wisconsin and Worcester State College. A newly-approved B.S. in Biotechnology is providing cutting-edge technology training for biotechnology students within a framework of a core curriculum, community service, internships in biotechnology laboratories, and small faculty/student ratios. Cabrini College is constructing a state-of-the-art building to house a new Center for Science, Education and Technology. The Biotechnology Program is to be housed in the new Center.In its first stage, this program is being offered to traditional undergraduate students, and concentrates on outreach, recruitment and admissions . As it matures, additional students will be drawn from non-traditional students and transfer students. Area high school teachers participating in a Cabrini-taught summer course," DNA and the New Millennium", will be part of the feeder school process for locating new students for the program.
