the New Millennium
Second Edition, 2E
Biotechnology: Science for the
New Millennium has been used
in the San Mateo Biotechnology
Career Pathway (SMBCP) courses
for 3 decades. Started in 1995,
SMBCP instructs approximately 400
high school students per year
coming from 10 different high
schools. Annually, 30-40 student
interns complete laboratory
internships with mentors at any
of 25 local biotechnology
facilities. 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 over twenty years,
Biotechnology: Science for the
New Millennium (BS4NM) is an
age-independent curriculum. The
2006 and 2012 editions of BS4NM
are being used at over 1200 high
schools and over 300 colleges.
With extensive updates and
technological
advancements Biotechnology:
Science for the New Millennium,
2E is the most
comprehensive, flexible, and
student-friendly curriculum
available.
BS4NM 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 the lab
proficiencies needed in adult
science workplaces. With all the
support biotechnology educators
need, BS4NM is a comprehensive
lab-based curriculum where
high-level bioscience concepts
support the development of lab
skills needed to work in an adult
science environment.
