About The Book

Public education in biotechnology and genetic engineering as well as preparing future scientists will be well served by an early introduction of biotechnology courses and research into schools. An educated public is essential for the development of good managers, politicians, lawyers, journalists and academics, as all of these role players in bio-technology industry are drawn from public. This book fills the existing gap in the literatures by providing a well-planned framework for increasing genetic literacy, well-defined objectives, strategies and teaching approaches for the development of plant genetic engineering education systems from the general public, school, under and post-graduate students. In addition, it includes an outline of the ethos behind the programmes, the topics studied, the research element, the assessment and the potential achievement of such programmes. Furthermore, it contains plant genetic engineering and biotechnology universities guide. This book, therefore, should be valuable to students who are aiming for undergraduate (B.Sc.) or postgraduate degrees (M.Sc & Ph.D.) in plant biotechnology as well as teachers, lecturers, researchers, scientists and educationalists who are involved in the field of genetic engineering and biotechnology from educational research and curriculum development point of view.
