4 credits This is a transferable four-credit laboratory science course. It is a required course for the Nursing curriculum at MWCC. It is recommended for students planning careers in health sciences or animal and plant sciences and will satisfy a lab science requirement here, or for transfer. In addition to a discussion of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and other parasites, this course will discuss practical applications of the techniques of microbiology to the health care and industrial fields. BIO205 Microbiology is a medically-oriented course that surveys the broad aspects of this field of study. Topics include morphology and nutrition of microbes, pathogenic processes, host-defense mechanisms, allergy, antibiotic therapy, and a review of the common diseases of each system of the body. Three hours lecture and three hours lab per week. Prerequisite: RDG100, ENG100. Encouraged prerequisite: any of the following: BIO109 or BIO115 or BIO203. Fall and spring.

3.00 Credits
3 credits This course is an in-depth study and discussion of all aspects of human sexuality. Emphasis will be on biological aspects and influences on human sexuality. Topics to be considered include structure, function and dysfunction of the reproduction system, prenatal sexual development, achieving gender identity, sexual behavior, sexual signaling, health and control of sexual reproduction, correcting problems of sexual expression, divergent sexual behavior, and sexually transmitted diseases. Various media forms will be used. A primary objective of the course is a better understanding of one's own sexuality. Prerequisites: ENG100, RDG100, or placement. Offered occasionally.

4.00 Credits
4 credits Introduction to Biotechnology is a course designed to acquaint students with the diverse field of biotechnology. Topics will include a brief history of biotechnology, job opportunities in biotechnology, recombinant DNA and protein products, microbial biotechnology, plant biotechnology, medical biotechnology, and DNA fingerprinting and forensic analysis. Current ethical issues such as stem cell research and cloning will also be discussed. Prerequisites: ENG100, RDG100, MAT120.
-
2.00 Credits
2 credits Basic Biotechnology Laboratory Techniques is a course designed to develop fundamental skills in the set up of typical growth plates and media used in standard culturing of microorganisms or tissue culture as well as preparation of common solutions and reagents. In addition, students will develop fundamental skills in the use, maintenance and calibration of common laboratory instruments like spectrophotometers and pH meters. Principles of laboratory safety, documentation and the use of computers in the lab will also be covered. The practical aspect of the course involves preparation of media for numerous biology classes currently offered. Prerequisites: ENG100, RDG100, MAT120.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits The first of two experiential, cornerstone courses in Biotechnology. The course begins by introducing the student to the role of the technician in biotechnology and GLP (or Good Laboratory Principles). An exploration of the principles of molecular genetics will be provided, including lecture topics in transcription, translation and protein expression in prokaryotes, and eukaryotes. Included in the course will be a hands-on exposure to biotechnology research tools and protocols used for DNA isolation, gene mapping, DNA fingerprinting, gene cloning, gene expression and regulation, gene sequencing, mRNA isolation, and protein isolation and identification. Prerequisites: BTC101, 102, CHE203.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits The second of two experiential courses, the course begins by introducing the student to the proteins and companies of biotechnology and to CGMP (current good manufacturing practices). In the remainder of the course students use bacteria, mammalian, and yeast cells to produce human proteins using tools and standard manufacturing operating procedures of biotechnology, including upstream and downstream processing of proteins and quality control of protein production. Prerequisites: BTC110.
