Mol and Cell Biotechnology

Introduction to the principles and techniques of molecular and cell biology and protein analysis. Emphasis on lab techniques, such as spectroscopy, preparation of cell lysates, Western blot, immunoprecipitation, enzyme assays, analysis of signal transduction, and stable transfection of mammalian cells. Design and analysis of molecular and cell biology experiments is taught.

GLP and GMP Principles

A general overview of Food and Drug Administration regulations as they pertain to the biotechnology field. Knowledge of Current Good Laboratory Practices (cGLP) and Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) is needed to work in biotechnology manufacturing and preclinical research laboratories. The course will emphasize those practices as they pertain to the biopharmaceutical industry.

AutoCAD I

An introduction to the Autodesk AutoCAD software, starting with a basic understanding of the software interface and moving to two dimensional line drawings for an architectural application. Explore collaborative drawing with externally referenced files and management using a layering system.

Building Structures

Awareness of architectural structural concepts; fundamental aspects and principles of basic structural forms, loads and materials. Reveal and discuss the multi-discipline nature of structural systems in the built environment (including sustainability and the environment) within the architectural and construction fields.

Rhino 3D Computer Modeling

An introduction to Rhinoceros three-dimensional surface modeling software. Rhino's NURB based geometry enables the construction of free-form organic surfaces that can be applied to architectural and other design fields such as jewelry, marine, transportation, and industrial designs. The focus will be on creating, editing, and transforming three-dimensional surface models.
