Applied Biotechnology

 

 

The program aims to produce graduates having knowledge and skills in the field of Applied Biotechnology. In Applied Biotechnology the focus is on imparting the knowledge and develop expertise that allow graduates to serve the sectors such as marine, food and agriculture, and environment aligned with Oman vision 2040.


Teaching Language: English
Branches: Sur

 

The student who satisfactorily completes the Bachelor of Science in Applied Biotechnology should be able to:

 

  1.  Illustrate the correlation between structure and function at all levels of organization (organism, tissue, cells organelles and bio-molecules)
  2.  Visualize the importance of genomics, proteomics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and their application in biotechnology and in human welfare
  3.  Design, develop and apply various experimental skills and modern laboratory techniques to address biotechnological issues
  4.  Demonstrate an understanding of safety issues in the workplace related to the use of biohazards and hazardous chemicals.
  5.  Use a variety of efficient and effective communication skills in the study of biotechnology.
  6.  Use the scientific method to define and solve problems independently and collaboratively.
  7.  Emphasize the capabilities of biotechnology in society, as well as its technical and ethical limitations

 

The minimum requirements for application for entry into the program are: General Education Diploma with (Not less than C) in English language and with (Not less than D) in Pure Mathematics, Biology, and Chemistry.

 

  1.  Marine ABT graduates are prepared to work as marine biotechnologists in marine products, marine environmental monitoring and remediation, aquaculture and as laboratory analysts, instrumentation/calibration technicians, quality assurance auditors, analysts and inspectors and research associates. Graduates will be qualified to work independently, enter market entrepreneurship and continue with postgraduate studies.

Semester 1

Semester 2

The course deals with a brief introduction to Biochemistry and to understand the Principles of Biochemistry. The Course will describe the structures, properties, function, metabolism and regulation of carbohydrates, lipids and amino acids. In addition to this emphasis will be laid on protein structure and its functions, enzymes and coenzymes, and energy conversion pathways associated with biochemical reactions.

This course provides the scientific principles, concepts and skills to understand and perform some of the processes involved in Analytical Chemistry. The principles governing standard analytical techniques like chromatography, polarimetry, atomic (Flame photometry & AAS) and molecular spectroscopy (UV-Vis, IR) are discussed. The opportunity to obtain hands-on experience with some of these techniques is also provided with selected experiments. A statistical approach to quantitative analytical techniques regarding aspects like accuracy and reliability of results forms an important aspect of this course.

The course deals with conceptual research approaches and skills required for a successful conduction of the research through critical exploration of research tools and information sourcing, data and its analysis, technical-scientific writing and presentation skills, ethical principles and challenges. The course introduces the language of research by applying research methodology in projects/researches inconsonance with information sourcing, data and its analysis, technical-scientific writing, presentation skill, research ethics and trends. It includes discussions on the elements of the research process within quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches, sampling techniques, research designs and techniques of analysis. Moreover, this course will require the students to prepare a small research proposal which contains an introduction, a review of related literatures existing in the library and on the websites, a study framework, one or more methodologies appropriate for the study; and a plan of action outlining how the investigation will take place.
