of gaining benefits with thecontinuing rapid growth of biotechnology all over the world. The advantages of biotechnology have been recognized in advanced countries such as theUSA, Japan and some European countries, and in order to make the best use of these advantages, stepshave been taken made to improve human resources relating to the biotechnology sectors. This hasincluded biotechnology education for not only public sector workers and academics, but for students of K-12 grades. Modern biotechnology education in Iran started in 1990 in Master courses in Tarbiet ModaresUniversity under the title of Chemical Engineering-Biotechnology and from that time education hasspread, but still the sum of educated persons working in

process is arepeating process, just like any sport, students have to practice enough to master the concepts.Second, the instructor has to know how much students have learned. The results from thestudents’ individual work, like tests and quizzes, are usually a good indicator. Then, theinstructor knows what the students’ weakness is in the subject, and leads the lectures in the rightdirection. For those key concepts, we want to make sure that the students have learned thematerial. It seems to take some time from the lecture, but actually it saves time, because theinstructor can emphasize the problems that students still have confusion and questions. Weencourage students read the book before the lecture, however only few students could do that.We

Students cangraduate with an AAS (Associate of Applied Science), BS (Bachelor of Science), or BTech(Bachelor of Technology) by taking only courses with no research credits required. At thegraduate level most institutions require at least three credits of research at the master level. Atthe MECH department of NYCCT research is becoming almost a required component of theAAS and BTech programs.

Because we are what we know, new understanding involves adjustingexisting conceptual models to accommodate the new information. Very often, creating aconceptual shift requires also an ontological shift to allow the learner to include the new entitiesassociated with learned concept into own activities7.Finally, Irreversibility refers to the fact that the knowledge and skills associated with the learningof a threshold concept once mastered are unlikely to be

Oneof the methods of reducing this short fall is to use simple animated virtual models, whichdemonstrate basic structural design concepts that can be used to enhance the studentsunderstanding. The interactive computer aided learning (Haque 2001) allows students toproceed at their own pace, motivated by a curiosity about “what happens” interactivity and “theneed to know” the design/ analysis principles.As the global community increases its utilization of new

These procedures work wellfor the dissertations. Of the 6 dissertations not available in the Libraries, 3 are non-Stanford dissertations, and the other 3 are Masters theses. The same cannot be said of thetechnical reports. The Libraries are missing technical reports produced by 14 of thedifferent labs and centers, with significant gaps in the Libraries holdings for several ofthese. This lack could be attributed to a breakdown in communication with the labs andcenters, a failure of the
