While students engage in labs, their parents are given in-formation on college financial aid and admissions to help them support their daughters through theapplication process.

Conventional education ofbiotechnology requires a specific place (classroom and laboratory), specialist/educated teacher, textbooks,and considerable investment for experimental devices. Many of the biotechnological experiments are toocostly, too time consuming, too dangerous to be done easily in classroom [7]. They are among thelimitations to the development of biotechnology education via conventional models.

engineering skills has not been sufficient. Only a fewuniversities have testing engineering incorporated in their curriculum. To meetthis need, academic institutions must re-shape their curriculum to offer studentsthe opportunity to learn test engineering skills. Currently, test engineering skillsare usually gained through work experience and on-the-job training, but notthrough formal college education. To effectively meet the next generation’sworkforce need for test engineers, the EET curriculum must be current, relevant,and teach skills that are widely needed in industry. To meet this goal, the Schoolof Technology is stepping up to this challenge and collaborating with GE aviationto develop a test engineering curriculum. The graduate certificate
