Instrumentation for a Biotechnology Center to Enhance Undergraduate Education

该项目正在建立一个中心，以满足不同课程水平的本科课程的迫切需求。因此，普通生物学专业现在在他们的实验室里解决入门级的分子生物学概念。分子生物学技术也被加入到细胞生物学、遗传学和免疫学等核心课程中。生物技术中心提供设备齐全的集中式实验室，供多门课程的学生共享。生物技术中心也是本科生进行自主研究项目的宝贵资源。最后，该中心通过为职前和高中教师提供生物技术暑期课程的核心，加强了该部门的教师培训计划。

This project is establishing a Center to address pressing needs in the undergraduate program at different curricular levels. As a result, General Biology for majors now addresses entry-level molecular biology concepts in their laboratory. Molecular biology technologies are also being added to core courses such as cell biology, genetics, and immunology. The Biotechnology Center provides a well-equipped and centralized laboratory that is shared by students in several courses. The Biotechnology Center is also a valuable resource for undergraduate students pursuing independent research projects. Finally, the Center enhances the department's teacher training program by providing a nucleus for summer courses in biotechnology for pre-service and high school teachers.
