Introductions to biotechnology (Code: BT150IU, BT150UN, Bt150WE)
COURSE OVERVIEW
This course presents the summary of aspects of biotechnology including the history, the general view of molecules and cells, immunology, microbiology, plants and animal, genomics and their own applications. Each major is structured in one lecture. The lectures are organized in lessons with theory and applications. Students attend the class will be required to prepare an assignment on which they most concern in biotechnology under lecturer’s guidance.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the conclusion of the course, students should achieve the following:
1. An understanding of:
a. The research fields in biotechnology, their applications in industry and the achievement in society, bioethics and regulations.
b. The research areas that are carrying out at School of biotechnology, IU. This aims to make preparation for students to join projects in certain areas.
2. Development of their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
