Biotechnician ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE DEGREE INSTITUTIONAL CERTIFICATE Location: Science Lab Telephone: 801-626-6165 This technology education program is designed to meet the needs of the biotechnology industry for technicians trained in the appropriate biological sciences and chemistry. Heavy emphasis is placed on providing students with opportunities for hands-on laboratory experiences that will enable them to qualify for good jobs in various biotechnology companies. Students would complete the three-year training program by completing a course of study leading to an Associate of Science degree in the first two years, and a laboratory-intensive course of study in the third year that would qualify them for a Biotechnician Certificate. » Grade Requirements: Cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher. » Credit Hour Requirements: Total of 62 credit hours is required - 38 of these are required within the program. An additional 30 credit hours is required for the Institutional Certificate. Advisement Students should meet with the program advisor; call Julie Baker, Department of Zoology secretary (801-626-6165) for information. General Education Refer to pages 36-41 for Associate of Science requirements. These should include either Econ AI2740, Hist All700, or PolSc All 100. The following courses required for the Biotechnician program will satisfy the quantitative core and the life and physical sciences portion of the general education requirements: Math QL1050, Chem PS/SI1210, Phsx PS/SI1010, and Micro LS/SI2054. Students should complete the AS. program in two years and take the laboratory intensive courses for the Institutional Certificate in thet third year. Course Requirements for A.S.

Wachocki; Assistant Professor: Ron J. Deckert While plants have intrigued and delighted people for thousands of years, they still remain undervalued and too little appreciated. We somehow manage to see a faint connection between plants and our basic needs of food, shelter, clothing, and energy, but only in a rather limited way. Remote connections are made, if any at all, between the history of exploration; present-day social, economic, and political conditions; and access to plants and plant products. Interest and understanding of plants is becoming much more intense. During the last few decades we have seen an unprecedented increase in the variety of plants and plant products available in our markets as the popularity of ethnic cuisines has grown. Also, worldwide, people are becoming increasingly aware of sound nutrition and the role plants play in our general health. We now appreciate plants as reservoirs of untold numbers of pharmaceuticals important in our war on diseases. These interests are stimulating our collective concerns about understanding the past, present, and future uses of plants. Recently we have begun to address our most serious problems, viz the loss of ecosystem integrity and habitats for animals dependent upon vegetation. This we have done through increased understanding of plants. We now know how valuable plants are in maintaining the health and stability of the global environment and that in its survival is the survival of the human species. Botany is the study of all aspects of plants, including systemat- ics, morphology, diversity, metabolism, and ecology. Through a study of plants, students gain an understanding and an apprecia- WEBER STATE UNIVERSITY 2004-2005 CATALOG
