Title: Describe how biotechnology is used in other disciplines.
Course: Biotechnology Foundations in Agricultural and Environmental Science (18308-II) > Section: Exploring Foundations in Biotechnology

Description should include examples of the interdisciplinary nature of biotechnology, such as how biotechnology relates to

- food production/processing
- medical science
- pharmaceuticals
- water quality
- materials science
- energy production (e.g., biofuels)
- computer science (e.g., bioinformatics)
- forensic science.

Process/Skill Questions:

- Why is interdisciplinary collaboration important in technology transfer?
- What is an example of spin-off technology?
- How has the coupling of technologies created new fields in biotechnology (e.g., mathematical biology, bioinformatics)?
