Lakeland Bioscience Technology Laboratory Improvement

莱克兰社区学院生物科学技术项目是为应对该地区对生物科学技术人员日益增长的需求而开发的，是俄亥俄州北部唯一的副学士学位生物技术项目。该项目是由生物技术行业的科学家和学术机构的研究人员/教育工作者共同努力开发的。该课程为学生提供了成为称职的生物科学技术人员所必需的基本科学知识和实践经验。实验室改进项目影响到生物科学专业、理科专业和非专业学生以及健康科学专业的学生。它实现了以下目标：1.提供最先进的设备来培训和再培训生物科学技术人员；2.为大学和高中教职员工建立暑期学院；3.影响高中和大学科学课程的系统性变化；4.为高中生举办生物技术研讨会；以及5.开发生物技术技术准备计划。在该项目范围内制定的方案和实验室练习正在通过互联网接入和公众讨论向科学界提供。

The Lakeland Community College Bioscience Technology Program, developed in response to the growing demand for bioscience technicians in the region, is the only associate degree biotechnology program in northern Ohio. The program is being developed in a joint effort by scientists in the biotechnology industry, and researcher/educators in academic institutions. The curriculum provides students with the fundamental scientific knowledge and practical experience necessary to function as competent bioscience technicians. The laboratory improvement project impacts bioscience majors, science majors and non-majors, as well as health science students. It achieves the following: 1. Provides state-of-the-art equipment to train and retrain bioscience technicians; 2. Establishes a summer institute for college and high school faculty; 3. Effects systemic changes in high school and college science curricula; 4. Conducts biotechnology workshops for high school students; and 5. Develops a Biotechnology Tech Prep Program. Programs and laboratory exercises developed within this project are being made available to the scientific community through internet access and public discussion.
