This video from the Internet Scout Research Group is part of a series that highlights student success stories related to advanced technological education (ATE) programs. In this video, Danial Nasr Azadani discusses his experiences with the biotechnology program at Del Mar College. Azadani talks...

Course Description: In this Biotechnology Module A course, developed by Articulated Technological Education Pathways (ATEP), students are introduced to the fields of biotechnology and engineering. Students will also discover how science, technology, and engineering come together to help solve...

Course Description: In this Biotechnology Module B course, developed by Articulated Technological Education Pathways (ATEP), students use tools and skills introduced in Module A. In this module students will design a bioreactor for producing microbial proteins, describe the parameters that can be...

ATETV provides web-based videos that spotlight advanced technical careers and educational programs. This video shows a "Research Methods in Molecular Biology Class where students learn that a 'library' can contain something other than just books." The video runs 3:29 minutes and related videos can...

ATETV continues to produce excellent web-based videos spotlighting advanced technical careers and educational programs. In this video, part of the 101 Series, watch employees work in a lab applying their knowledge and skills in Biotechnology to develop innovative new products. The video runs 3:27...

The North Carolina Community College System BioNetwork's interactive eLearning tools (IETs) are reusable chunks of training that can be deployed in a variety of courses or training programs. IETs are designed to enhance, not replace hands-on training. Learners are able to enter a hands-on lab...

From the University of California, Davis, Partnership for Plant Genomics Education, this biotechnology laboratory is a five-day activity with bacterial transformations and green fluorescent protein. “In this lab activity, students will attempt to cause a wild type strain of E. coli to incorporate...

A portion of the Partnership for Plant Genomics Education, hosted by the University of California-Davis, this PDF presents a student activity where students will use agarose gel electrophoresis to separate several different dyes. The lab is described as a “precursor to DNA separations” and thus...

Micropipets are used in almost all biotechnology experiments. These precise instruments allow for the dispensing of extremely small volumes. This laboratory exercise will teach students to learn how to operate a micropipet, understand measuring volumes in microliters, and convert metric volumes....

Restriction mapping is a cornerstone of modern-day biotechnology. During this three-day exercise, students will digest samples of DNA with three different restriction enzymes. The DNA samples will be electrophoresed and the resulting fragments photographed under and ultraviolet transilluminator....
