BIO 132 - Bioscience Practicum II
Credits: 4
Lab/Lecture: Three lecture. One lab.
Preparation of students to become lab technicians by introduction of fundamental skills, knowledge, and attitudes essential to any lab professional. Includes lab safety, documentation, quality control, lab math, validation and verification of results. Also includes understanding government regulations, biological solution preparation, assays, biological separations, and growing cells. The course aims at implementing a community based scientific problem and varying teams of students create a workable scientific solution using the methods taught in the BIO 131 and further development in this course. Exposure to varying scientific internships and work environments are also explored. At the successful completion of this course the student will have the opportunity to take the Bio-Assistant Credentialing Exam (BACE).
Course Outcomes:
Students will be able to:
- practice proper laboratory safety;
- practice common laboratory procedures;
- demonstrate the ability to keep a legal scientific notebook compatible with industry standards;
- employ the correct mathematical rules of operation, and be able to apply these to the preparation of reagents and biological solutions;
- demonstrate techniques common to the bioscience laboratory;
- understand and demonstrate ability to perform biological separations;
- demonstrate ability to grow, transfer, and enumerate bacterial cells;
- research current topics and/or careers in bioscience;
- create a scientific solution to a community based problem.
Prerequisite(s): BIO 131 .
