Students must pay a $20 supply fee when registering for this course. Prerequisite: Program admission Offered quarterly
-
5.00 Credits
Banner Title: Biology II BIO 192 is the second part of a 10-hour sequence of coursework. It covers classification and structural adaptations of all organisms, including prokaryotes, protists, fungi, plants, and animals. The course further divides the classification of animals into vertebrates and invertebrates. Students must pay a $20 supply fee when registering for this course. Prerequisite: BIO 191 with a grade of C or better Offered quarterly
-
5.00 Credits
Banner Title: Anatomy/Physiology I This course introduces the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Instructors place emphasis on the development of a systemic perspective of anatomical structures and physiological processes. Topics include body organization, chemistry, cell structure and functions, tissue classifications, the integumentary system, the skeletal system, the muscular system, and the nervous and sensory systems. Students must pay a $20 supply fee when registering for this course. Prerequisite: ENG 099 with a grade of C* or better and RDG 098 with a grade of C* or better or placement by diagnostic testing Offered quarterly
-
5.00 Credits
Banner Title: Anatomy/Physiology II This course continues the study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body and builds upon the concepts of chemistry, cytology, and histology. Topics include thereproductive system, the cardiovascular system, the immune system, the respiratory system, the digestive system, and the urinary system. Topics also include fluid dynamics and metabolism. Students must pay a $20 supply fee when registering for this course. Prerequisite: BIO 193 with a grade of C or better Offered quarterly
-
5.00 Credits
Banner Title: Introductory Microbiology This course provides a foundation in basic microbiology. The course emphasizes infectious diseases. Students gain an understanding of the various characteristics of microorganisms in general and specific characteristics of pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. Students will conduct studies of the host-parasite relationship, the mechanism of host defense, epidemiology, as well as antimicrobial and chemotherapeutic agents. Students must pay a $25 supply fee when registering for this course. Prerequisites: BIO 191 or BIO 193 or CHM 191 Offered quarterly
-
1.00 Credits
Banner Title: Biotechnology Seminar This seminar class covers topics of special interest to the biotechnology field. Topics may include current events, career orientation, employability skills, laboratory specializations, and facilities tours. Former students and local biotechnology employees present information. Prerequisite: Program admission Offered Winter term
-
6.00 Credits
Banner Title: Cell Biology and Immunology This course addresses the composition, structure, and function of cells, as well as essential concepts in immunology. Lectures discuss macromolecules, metabolism, growth, communication, development, differentiation, cell division, the cell cycle, cell-mediated and antibody-mediated immune responses, vaccine immunization, and monoclonal antibodies. Additional topics include immunological mechanisms and special cell types. In the laboratory, students perform experiments that require culture and maintenance of cells, study cell types, fluorescence microscopy, metabolism, and isolate and characterize cell components and organelles. Students will also perform protein purification and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISAs). Prerequisites: MIB 192 Offered Summer and Winter terms
-
6.00 Credits
Banner Title: Recombinant DNA The genetic manipulation of cells and organisms generating lines that produce biologically important molecules which have enhanced disease resistance or other desirable traits is the heart of the biotechnology industry. This course provides in-depth knowledge of the structure and function of DNA at the molecular level. Students will perform fundamental techniques involved in genetic engineering, including restriction analysis, plasmid isolation, generation of recombinant DNA, preparation of gene problems, Southern blot analysis and PCR techniques. Prerequisite: MIB 192 Offered Fall and Spring terms
-
5.00 Credits
Banner Title: Applied Biotechnology This course involves the successful completion of three components. Students fulfill component one by performing a four-week internship in a local biotechnology company or in a research laboratory at a local academic/government facility that relates to the student's career goals. Component two is a directed, though largely independent, four-week laboratory project in the college's Biotechnology teaching laboratory. Students must write and present a technical report relevant to their internship experience (component one) and to the rationale, methodology, results, and conclusions of their independent research project (component two). To satisfy component three, students must research, write, and present a technical report about an assigned, commercially available laboratory research product and a selected class of genetically modified organisms used in biotechnology industries. Prerequisites: BIO 201, BIO 203, MIB 192, or permission of department Offered Spring term
-
6.00 Credits
Banner Title: Industrial Cell Culture This laboratory course teaches the skills needed to serve as a technician in biotechnology production. Students grown and monitor bacterial, yeast, and mammalian cells on a laboratory scale that emulates the large-scale production used in industry. Students will become familiar with the cleaning, sterilization, aseptic inoculation, operation, and monitoring of fermenters and bioreacters. Students then recover and purify proteins produced by those cell cultures. They recover and purify proteins using centrifugation, ultrafiltration, and chromatography techniques. The course emphasizes the use of current good manufacturing practices (cGMP), and students gain experience following standard operating procedures (SOPs). Prerequisite: BIO 201 Offered Fall and Spring terms
