Honours Bachelor of Applied Technology is a four-year degree program with a mandatory co-op component. Students will develop skills in experimental design, statistical data analysis, bioinformatics and handling microbial, plant, and animal material for genetic analysis. Graduates of this program will feel confident entering the workforce after completing a four-month co-op program to develop the necessary interpersonal and communication skills.Stem cells, natural and synthesized pharmaceuticals, molecular biology and chemical instrumentation are among the most in-demand fields of scientific study today. Coupled with Fanshawe's honours bachelor degree in Biotechnology, you'll have eight semesters of academic study and at least four months of related co-op experience to prepare you for work in these exciting areas.As a biotech degree student, you'll develop skills in experimental design, statistical data analysis, bioinformatics, chemical analysis and handling microbial, plant, and animal material for genetic analysis.In this biotechnology program, you will learn:Plant and animal tissue culture, applied biotechnology methods including PCR and qPCR, microbiology, virology, DNA and RNA and protein and lipid purification and analysis, instrumental chemistry, and economic, ethical and environmental issues.Graduates will be skilled in the handling of microbial, plant, and animal genetic material and macromolecule analysis, small animal handling, experimental design, statistical data analysis, and bioinformatics. Throughout the program, students will apply this knowledge to regulatory affairs, quality assurance, bioethics, and biohazard management while developing interpersonal and communication expertise, and the skills necessary for life long learning.Learning OutcomesThe graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to1. Perform all laboratory tasks according to accepted laboratory practices.2. Demonstrate theoretical and practical skills in molecular biology.3. Assist in the design of good experimental and laboratory management practices and procedures.4. Obtain a sound practical background in the interdisciplinary subjects that are the basis of Biotechnology.Career InformationGraduates of this Honours four-year degree program have the opportunity to pursue a wide variety of careers within the Biotechnology sector, including:Medical, agricultural and basic researchNew product developmentLaboratory managementMolecular and chemical analysis in the agricultural industryQuality control quality assuranceFermentation chemistry in the beer and wine industryPharmaceutical production and salesForensic analysisRisk assessment and managementTechnical writingGraduates also have the option of pursuing additional degrees andor certifications that can open the door to the following careers:Environmental remediationPublic health and hospital lab and training opportunitiesAlternate energy developmentDownstream processing of waste productsProject managementIntellectual property managerHere are some examples of career opportunities for graduates of Fanshawe’s Honours Bachelor of Applied Technology - Biotechnology program:Microbiology Laboratory AnalystPrepare and maintain equipment and gather specimen samples for analysis.
