The Biotechnology curriculum,
which has emerged from molecular biology and chemical engineering,
is designed to meet the increasing demands for skilled
laboratory technicians in various fields of biological
and chemical technology.
Course work emphasizes biology, chemistry, mathematics,
and technical communications. The curriculum objectives
are designed to prepare graduates to serve in three distinct
capacities: research assistant to a biologist or chemist,
laboratory technician/instrumentation technician, and quality
control/quality assurance technician.
Graduates may find employment in various areas of industry
and government, including research and development, manufacturing,
sales, and customer service.
