Concepts & Review –
A. Biotechnology History and Applications
1.
Conduct a Biotechnology Timeline WebQuest to gather information about the evolution
of the field of biotechnical engineering.
2.
Develop a scaled timeline illustrating major biotechnical engineering milestones.
3.
Assess the impact of each milestone based on your research.
4.
Identify the fundamental concepts common to all major industries in biotechnical
engineering.
5.
Identify and explain how biotechnical engineered products impact society.
6.
Predict future developments in biotechnical engineering.
7.
Investigate and begin to develop an understanding of the relationship between financial
markets and scientific research.
8.
Research, create and manage a stock portfolio.
9.
Use Excel to create graphs of your data.
10.
Use your graphs and data to produce evidence. Accurately use evidence to support or
refute claims.
11.
Apply your practical knowledge of genetic engineering to the design of a novel and
beneficial application of the reporter gene, green fluorescent protein.
12.
Determine the proper techniques for isolating proteins and bacterial transformation.
13.
Know the methods that can be used to determine if transformation was successful.
14.
Identify the environmental conditions, both physical and biological, that must be
considered during the scale up of an organism for bioprocessing.
B. Bioethics
1.
Discuss the differences between values, morals and ethics.
2.
Describe the variables that shape one’s ethics.
3.
Role-play a bioethics case study to address and personalize the different perspectives
involved.
4.
Analyze the bioethical issues that arise when various technological advancements
create new options.
5.
Create and test a public opinion survey on the bioethics of biotechnology.
