Biotechnology Education Infusion Program

生物技术教育注入（BEI）项目正在创建一个三阶段计划，以帮助高中和社区学院的科学教师和职业顾问提高学生的生物技术内容知识和职业意识，并增加进入生物技术劳动力的学生人数。该项目的目标是：（1）在斯波坎地区招募48名高中和社区大学科学教师和48名职业顾问，参加为期一到两周的BEI研究所（第一阶段），（2）招募16名第一阶段教师和他们的学生，参加为期五周的行业指导生物技术实验室体验（二期）、（3）招聘4名二期教师进行为期5周的行业实习（第三阶段），（4）帮助教师和辅导员创建BEI资源指南，包括教学材料，实验室调查和职业咨询材料，（5）评估该计划在加强教师将生物技术融入课程，提高教师和辅导员对生物技术职业的认识，以及改善学生生物技术内容知识，职业意识和态度方面的有效性，以及（6）传播BEI资源指南和BEI模型计划。该项目将影响约17，000名学生。

Biological Sciences (61) The Biotechnology Education Infusion (BEI) project is creating a three-phase program to help high school and community college science teachers and career counselors enhance students' biotechnology content knowledge and career awareness, and increase the number of students entering the biotechnology workforce. The objectives of the project are to (1) recruit 48 high school and community college science teachers and 48 career counselors in the Spokane region to participate in a one- to two-week BEI Institute (Phase I), (2) recruit 16 Phase I teachers and their students for five-week, industry-directed biotechnology lab experiences (Phase II), (3) recruit 4 Phase II teachers for five-week industry internships (Phase III), (4) help teachers and counselors create a BEI Resource Guide that includes instructional materials, laboratory investigations, and career advising materials, (5) evaluate the program's effectiveness in enhancing teacher infusion of biotechnology into their curricula, raising teacher and counselor awareness of biotechnology careers, and improving student biotechnology content knowledge, career awareness, and attitudes, and (6) disseminate the BEI Resource Guide and BEI Model Program. The project is impacting an estimated 17,000 students.
