Course Description:
The course provide to the student principle of genomics sciences and biotechnology in various branches and focus on the basic principles for dealing with the genetic material in the various objects and the practical applications of these sciences in medical diagnostics, agriculture, biotechnology, microbial and environmental biotechnology. Also exposed to be in the segment practical techniques for isolating genes and circulation, and how the use of microbes, plants or animals as factories Phones by conversion and alteration of the genetically techniques transport gene different to take advantage of these GMOs in the fields of industry, agriculture, pharmaceuticals and biomedicine.
Course objectives:
I-The course aims to introduce students to the basic concepts of different branches of genomics sciences and biotechnology
2. The course aims to provide to students knowledge of the basic principles for dealing with the genetic material in the various objects
3. The course aims for students to understand the advantages and disadvantages of genomics sciences and biotechnology in solving some environmental problems.
4. The course aims to train students practice the techniques of gene isolation and transportation and biotechnology applications in various fields.
Scientific contents:
• short note of Sciences and Biotechnology and there different branches
• the basic principles for dealing with the genetic material in the various objects and the practical applications of these sciences in medical diagnostics, agriculture, biotechnology and microbial and environmental biotechnology
• techniques to isolate genes and circulation
• how to use microbes, plants or animals as factories Phones by converting and alteration of the
genetically different gene transfer techniques to take advantage of these GMOs in the fields of industry, agriculture, pharmaceuticals and biomedicine
• advantage and disadvantage to use sciences of genomics and biotechnology
Course Outcomes:
A- Knowledge
This course makes the student able to retrieve and understand the description, display, and
biotechnology. It would also be able to understand and analyze the basic principles and strategies for the applications of biotechnology to solve many of the problems experienced by the human race now, and recognize the student to information related to the genetic modification of organisms different. The student should be able to describe the technologies and methods of research and experimentation in the areas of biotechnology.
B- Cognitive Skills
- use basic and advanced methods in the areas of biotechnology.
- the application of cognitive understanding of the principles and theories of science of biotechno logy.
- Ability to think critically and innovative solutions to problems using information science biotechnology .
C- Interpersonal skills and responsibilities
Giving students the ability to analyze information and understand, and the ability to teamwork, and exercise leadership and act responsibly in personal and professional relationships and the ability to plan and take responsibility for self learning, and resolve conflicts and behave ethically and parameters of a standard high-level personal And public.
D- Analysis and communication
The use of written and oral communication effectively in the development of scientific capacity , knowledge and practical
- Using information and communication technologies in the improvement of cognitive and update the information
- The use of basic skills in computer, leading to the ability to self-learning and continuous.
Methods of evaluation for the above elements:
Standardized tests and examination of the students, and evaluate the performance of the semester and calendar programs by students, surveys by alumni, reports from the officials of government or private sectors, which employed the graduates
