Issues in Biotechnology (3 Units)

AFS  190 -- Section 3000 -- Course # 2159
This course runs from May 21 to July 27, 2012.

Issues in Biotechnology. The biological and environmental sciences have been rapidly transformed by the introduction of DNA-based technologies that allow for the precise manipulation and examination of the genetic material of plants, animals and microbes. The applications of these technologies encompass the rapidly growing fields within biotechnology. The tools of biotechnology are currently being applied across the biological sciences to address problems in agricultural crop improvement, marine sciences and aquaculture, medicine, pharmacy, forensics, and public health. The introduction of this field has been extremely rapid and has created a tremendous educational need to keep pace. New career opportunities are now being made that did not exist previously.

This course provides an introduction to Biotechnology and its impact on the environmental and life sciences, medicine, and agriculture. First, the basic questions concerning "What is Life?" and "How does it work?" are examined. To address these questions, the fundamental mechanics of biological life, DNA, gene expression and cloning are presented in basic layperson's terms as a basis for the current applications of modern biotechnology. Next, the current basic techniques used for gene cloning, DNA sequencing, PCR and gene transfer are examined. These technologies provide the basis for biotechnological advances in medical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, environmental, and forensic applications. Applications of recombinant DNA and genetic engineering are explored in these areas that are dramatically affecting our society and future. Lastly, the implications of biotechnology to world economy, politics, careers, ecology social concerns and ethics are also discussed.

This course runs from May 21 to August 3, 2012.

Computer Systems Fundamentals. This course is designed to give students a foundation in the fundamentals of computer concepts and how computers and networks work - using forensics to illustrate. By learning about computers and networks at the operating level, students will better understand the advanced issues that come into play when performing forensic acquisition and analysis. This course also places a strong emphasis on learning and understanding the A+ (computer hardware) material. While this is not a course in A+ test preparation, this course does use an A+ test preparation text as part of its teaching material. We encourage our students to use this as a starting point and with a few extra hours of studying each week, students should be prepared to take and pass the A+ examination. The A+ certification is a useful certification to have in the industry, and it conveys to employers, clients, and juries that you understand the underlying principles and foundations of your investigations.

CSC414 is taught entirely online. This course is composed of weekly modules that include an assigned reading, an online video lecture, a quiz, and a hands on assignment. Students will have access to all of the necessary material through an online classroom that is maintained by the University. Part of this online classroom is a discussion board that allows students to anonymously communicate with each other and the instructor. This discussion board is used to discuss current issues in the field as well as to trouble shoot problems that students may be having with homework assignments. The discussion board is unique in that it has been designed to function similarly to a professional list-serve that professionals use in the industry. Students can also have additional access to the instructors through an online meeting application that allows both student and instructor to share the contents of their desktops. This way instructors can see exactly what students are doing and provide help and assistance as necessary.

This course uses advanced forensic tools and hands-on exercises to emphasize the procedures that students will use in the field as forensic investigators. This course is composed of weekly modules that include an assigned reading, an online video lecture, a quiz, and a hands on assignment. Typically, new material for the week is released on Friday and due the following Friday. Students will have access to all of the necessary material through an online classroom that is maintained by the University. Part of this online classroom is a discussion board that allows students to anonymously communicate with each other and the instructor. Students taking this course will also have to complete a final project that is based on a current topic in the field.

MICROBIOLOGY



Issues in Biotechnology (3 Units)

MIC 190 -- Section 3000 -- Course # 2160
This course runs from May 21 to July 27, 2012.

Issues in Biotechnology. The biological and environmental sciences have been rapidly transformed by the introduction of DNA-based technologies that allow for the precise manipulation and examination of the genetic material of plants, animals and microbes. The applications of these technologies encompass the rapidly growing fields within biotechnology. The tools of biotechnology are currently being applied across the biological sciences to address problems in agricultural crop improvement, marine sciences and aquaculture, medicine, pharmacy, forensics, and public health. The introduction of this field has been extremely rapid and has created a tremendous educational need to keep pace. New career opportunities are now being made that did not exist previously.

This course provides an introduction to Biotechnology and its impact on the environmental and life sciences, medicine, and agriculture. First, the basic questions concerning "What is Life?" and "How does it work?" are examined. To address these questions, the fundamental mechanics of biological life, DNA, gene expression and cloning are presented in basic layperson's terms as a basis for the current applications of modern biotechnology. Next, the current basic techniques used for gene cloning, DNA sequencing, PCR and gene transfer are examined. These technologies provide the basis for biotechnological advances in medical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, environmental, and forensic applications. Applications of recombinant DNA and genetic engineering are explored in these areas that are dramatically affecting our society and future. Lastly, the implications of biotechnology to world economy, politics, careers, ecology social concerns and ethics are also discussed.
