Environmental Biotechnology is about the monitoring and maintenance of the environment and the sustainability of environmental industries. It aims to provide an understanding of the environmental and biological challenges facing society through the integration of biology. There are three themes running through the Environmental Biotechnology topic: bioremediation, plant biotechnology, and wastewater processes. Underpinning the topic is the biotechnology of environmental assessment and analysis using modern methods for sampling, quantification and analysis. Students will participate in workshops, practicals and tutorials to synthesize a scientific analysis of relevant environmental technology data. With this analysis students will produce an emulated scientific paper.
At the completion of this topic, students are expected to be able to:
- Demonstrate an integrated understanding of the breadth of analyses and skills that comprise Environmental Biotechnology reports and publications
- Produce an in-depth data analysis representative of at least one key area of Environmental Biotechnology
- Apply core scientific concepts and practical techniques to Environmental Biotechnology
- Apply problem-solving and teamwork skills
- Retrieve and critically evaluate original scientific literature
- Use critical analysis, synthesis and writing skills to produce a scientific report at a professional level
- Transfer and apply core concepts drawn from biology, molecular biology, microbiology, chemistry and environmental sciences to develop innovative, critical analyses to address environmental issues including pollution, environmental monitoring, environmental plant biology and water recycling
- Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of existing and emerging technologies that are important in the areas of environmental biotechnology
- Synthesise information and communicate effectively, succinctly and sensitively with the scientific community, clients, and the broad public via scientific papers and presentations
- Demonstrate knowledge on specific examples of how integrated science can be used to resolve environmental problems
- Demonstrate critical analysis, synthesis and writing skills at the level to produce professional scientific reports
