Biotechnology Lab Specialist Program
Guy Hamilton Ph.D. Program Director
Emphasis of Program
-Prepare students for careers in biotechnology research and development
-Provide practical, “hands-on” learning and familiarity with cutting edge techniques, technologies, and equipment
Flexible Student Access
-AAAS degree program. A two-year program for those without a science background. The first year curriculum provides a foundation in math and basic sciences. The second year focuses on applied biotechnology.
-Certificate Program. Students with prior Science degrees and/or experience may enter the program and complete the second year course sequence.
-Modular short courses. Students with Biotech experience may enroll in these courses to receive advanced training in several topics

2. Shoreline Biotech Lab Facilities
-3000 square feet of teaching lab space dedicated to Biotechnology students completely renovated in 2004.
-Facilities include molecular biology/immunology lab, tissue culture lab and computer access for students.

6. Shoreline Biotech HS Coordinator Washington State Workforce Development Grant Adrienne Houck
Goals included:
Talking to students about:
the industry
career fields
path to career
salary/tuition reimbursement benefits
Identifying students who are:
not planning to attend a four-year college or finances require alternatives to four-year college
first generation, ESL or other barriers that keep students from thinking ahead

7. Outreach Opportunities for Middle and High Schools
Visits to School -Science Classroom-stay for all sections, hands-on activity addressing your current curriculum. -Career fairs or Presentations Visits to Shoreline CC -Arrange full campus tour with biotechnology lab. -Can plan for a larger group with rotations -Smaller groups can arrange for lab activities.

8. SCC Outreach goals moving forward
Continue Outreach to Schools Create a Biotechnology Pathway for underserved and/or middle achieving students Pathway includes: Biotechnology Summer Student Experience (BSSE) Camp to Biotech (C2B) Continue to expand the Bruce Wallace Lab Program to Schools outside of the greater Seattle Area
