Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Program: The Institute For Food Safety

该项目正在开发一个两用食品安全实验室，将生物技术学生培训设施与合规免费服务测试相结合。 一个新的生物技术协会的科学学位和证书课程，重点是食品安全测试教育未来和现任工人。招聘材料和活动是针对三个学生群体准备的：高中生、想要改变职业的成人学习者和在职工人。高中生将参加为期两周的暑期学校活动。为了确保职前和在职高中教师了解该行业现有和不断变化的技术和知识，他们被邀请参加半年一次的研讨会，并由社区学院教师指导。实验室设施也被社区学院的教师使用，他们正在监督学生进行独立的研究项目。

This project is developing a dual purpose food safety laboratory which combines biotechnology student training facilities with compliance free-for-service testing. A new biotechnology Associates of Science degree and certificate programs with emphasis in Food Safety Testing educates both prospective and incumbent workers. Recruiting materials and activities are prepared to target three student populations: high school, adult learners who want to change careers, and incumbent workers. High school students are being targeted with two week Summer Academies. To ensure that pre- and in-service high school teachers are up to date with existing and changing techniques and knowledge in this industry, they are invited to attend semi-annual workshops and are mentored by community college faculty. The laboratory facilities are also being used by community college faculty who are supervising students on independent research projects.
