Your
Students In
Biotechnology
Biotechnology: Science for the New
Millennium is a comprehensive
program that prepares adults and teenagers
for a variety of post-secondary options
including community or career college
biotechnology certificate programs,
four-year biotechnology degree programs,
and industry workplaces. The vast text and
laboratory curriculum was development and
improved with input from an industry
advisory committee composed of laboratory
internship mentors. Biotechnology:
Science for the New Millennium allows
students to increase conceptual background
as they build lab proficiencies.
Science-bound and business-bound students
benefit from the extensive skill
development, science methods, and career
exploration that permeate the
curriculum.

Biotechnology:
Science for the New
Millennium
Biotechnology: Science for the New
Millennium has been used in the San
Mateo Biotechnology Career Pathway (SMBCP)
courses for the past ten years. Started in
1995, SMBCP instructs approximately 175
high school students and 35 adults per
year. Annually, 50-70 student interns
complete internships with mentors at any
of 20 local biotechnology companies.
Although focused on the middle 50% of the
high school student population, the
program has students coming from all
socioeconomic and academic levels.
Tested for ten years, Biotechnology:
Science for the New Millennium
contains enough activities for four years
of curriculum, with the hope that schools
develop programs that match the needs of
their students, community, and industry.
The text is presented in short sections so
students may master the concepts as they
build proficiencies in employable lab
skills.
