This project is developing and implementing a Biotechnology Program at the University of Nevada, Reno. We are adapting courses and objectives from successful Biotechnology Programs at Ferris State University and Northwestern University. The program is a collaborative effort by the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Natural Resources, and extends from the University to two local community colleges, local middle and high schools, and the community at large. The specific goals of the biotechnology program are: 1) to meet the growing student interest in a biotechnology career-directed education via development of an intercollegiate biotechnology degree program, 2) to increase the scientific literacy of a wide diversity of undergraduate students through the addition of biotechnology into courses for science and non-science majors, 3) to enhance community interest and knowledge in the sciences by community outreach, and 4) to enhance economic development in the state by the creation of a well-trained work force of biotechnology scientists.

该项目正在内华达大学里诺分校开发和实施一个生物技术项目。我们正在改编费里斯州立大学和西北大学成功的生物技术项目的课程和目标。该项目由艺术与科学学院和农业、生物技术与自然资源学院共同努力，并从该大学扩展到两所当地社区学院、当地初中和高中以及整个社区。生物技术项目的具体目标是：1)通过发展校际生物技术学位课程，满足学生对生物技术职业导向教育日益增长的兴趣；2)通过在理科生和非理科生的课程中加入生物技术，提高各类本科生的科学素养；3)通过社区外展，提高社区对科学的兴趣和知识。4)通过培养训练有素的生物技术科学家队伍来促进该州的经济发展。
