Understanding Biotechnology: A Comprehensive Overview
Biotechnology is the application of technology based on biology, utilizing living organisms and molecular biology to create healthcare products. It involves studying the functionality of living organisms by combining biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and technology. Careers in biotechnology include biomedical engineering, genetic counseling, and more. At YWLA, students participate in a STEM-based pathway focusing on rigorous courses in biotechnology, microbiology, genetic engineering, and practical applications in the field. The student timeline outlines the academic progression in biotechnology at YWLA from freshman to senior year.

What Is Biotechnology? Definition: Biotechnology is the study of technology based on biology Biotechnology uses living organisms and molecular biology to produce healthcare-related products Involves understanding how living organisms function Biotechnology combines these studies of biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, science and technology Biotechnologists study the physical, chemical, and genetic characteristics of cells and tissue while explore industrial applications for them Careers in Biotechnology: Biomedical Engineer, Bio-Mechanical Engineer, Biomed Field Service Engineer, Genetics Counselor, Biophysicists & Biochemists, etc...
Biotechnology At YWLA Biotechnology is a STEM-based pathway offered at YWLA. Students affiliated with biotechnology will take rigorous courses such as Principles of Bioscience, Biotechnology I, Biotechnology II, and Practicum in STEM Biotechnology. Students will learn the basics of microbiology, bioprocessing, genetic engineering, and biotechnology careers (especially biotechnology in the medical field.) Students will engage in hands-on, experiment-based labs and field-based exploration enhancing their learning of biotechnology.
Student Timeline as a Biotechnology Student at YWLA Freshman Year: Sophomore Year: Students enroll in their CTE required course Principles of Bioscience Students are required to finish all their certifications in this year OSHA, Cyber Safety, WFR Employability, and WFR Customer Service. Students enroll in their CTE required course Biotechnology I This year biotech students will focus more on field investigation, and how organisms interact when located in different environments. No certifications taken this year.
Student Timeline as a Biotechnology Student at YWLA Junior Year: Senior Year: Students enroll in their CTE required course Advanced Biotechnology II Project based year. Similar to sophomore year, but it is much more heavy based on thorough research and genetic information. During senior year, students will take part of their Practicum in STEM Biotechnology and be able to take part in internships. Students also finalize their certifications in: Lab Technician, CPR, HIPAA, and OSHA Healthcare.
