The Journal of Advanced Technological Education (J ATE) covers many different topics, but they all lead back to the journal's mission--to support technological education through the publication of high-quality, peer-reviewed research. And this mission has never been more important than now, with the education landscape buffeted by changes in funding ...
The subject of this blog is a paper that examines how the Business & Industry Leadership Team (BILT) process helped members of the Information Technology (IT) field develop aligned curriculum. You may wonder why a Biotechnology/Biomanufacturing-focused website is covering what is happening in the IT field. The fields have similarities ...
I have been interested in the life sciences for almost my whole life. So there is no question to me that biotechnology is immensely important. And therefore biotechnology/biomanufacturing education is immensely important. Yet perhaps not everyone feels the same way. The labs can be expensive to set up and teach ...
I have been in research for a very long time. There is something exhilarating about uncovering information, and for me, particularly information that could help in the field of medicine. And even though that end result is important, the process of getting to the end result is also important, because ...
To be honest, I had never heard of Ganoderma tsugae (also known as hemlock reishi) before I read the paper " Submerged Fermentation of Ganoderma tsugae for the Optimized Production of Exopolysaccharides" Journal of Advanced Technological Education. Vol. 3, Issue 2, 2024. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.13377110. What I discovered is that the ...
A crucial part of building activities for students is choosing a topic that will be engaging and foster the kind of interest that will make students want to take the activity to new heights. The Antibody Hackathon team did just that in choosing to build activities and teaching protocols around ...
Plastic is a big, and getting bigger, problem for the health and future of our planet. Sure, we might recycle, and try to avoid using plastic when possible, but there is just too much of it. The authors of the paper titled "Potential of Tenebrio molitor and Zophobas morio in ...
Ever wonder how Taq polymerase is made--the enzyme that is found in so many labs and is so integral to teaching biotech and biomanufacturing labs? Or maybe you wonder if you could make it yourself, maybe save on costs? A recent student research paper titled "Manufacturing and Formulation Development of ...
Sihem Nadour, a student at Montgomery County Community College, was featured in a recent article by Eric Devlin highlighting her recent publication in JATE and her poster presentation at the ATE PI conference in October 2024. Article and photos by Eric Devlin: When Sihem Nadour made the trip to the ...
Two papers from the Department of Biotechnology, Montgomery County Community College have been published in the Journal of Technological Education (JATE). The first examines the stability of NISTCHO cell lines when they are stored at -80°C. The NISTCHO cell line is a recombinant Chinese hamster ovary cell line that was ...
Another exciting article from The Journal of Advanced Technological Education (J ATE) Volume 3: Issue 2. Authors Cubit, Rojas, Kulikowski, Martinez, and Prabhakar ( Frederick Community College) discuss a synthetic glucocorticoid, budesonide and its potential as an anti-inflammatory for treatment of a number of illnesses. Inflammation has been shown to ...
Connect, collaborate, innovate. Those are the three words on the website for the Advanced Technological Education--Principal Investigator meeting ( ATE-PI) I just had the privilege of attending. The weather was amazingly hot in Washington DC from October 23-25th but the amazing accomplishments could be found inside the Omni Hotel. The ...
The Journal of Advanced Technological Education (J ATE) Volume 3: Issue 2 is full of great papers, with new ideas and tools that you might be able to use in your own program! Two particularly interesting tools for biotech programs are described in Predicting Neoantigens for Cancer Using Next-Generation IEDB ...
The field of bioprocess manufacturing is growing rapidly, and there simply aren't enough skilled technicians to fill entry-level positions. Community colleges are well-positioned to help students be ready for these positions, but it is crucially important the skills taught fit the needs of the evolving industry. Central Carolina Community College's ...
Who has dreams of a STEM career? And who gets a chance to make those dreams become reality? Kristyn VanderWaal Mills and Travis Mills (STEM Department, Saint Paul College) took an in-depth look at the equity gap in the STEM workforce, and what could help close that gap. Their paper ...

The article (1) discusses the development of Frederick Community College's cell therapy and flow cytometry course and the role it plays in the Biohealth Capital Region, an area that encompasses Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC. The authors state that the global cell therapy market is estimated to grow to $23 ...
Last year the Micro Nano Technology Education Center kicked off a new era in the world of technician education. They created a new journal. The Journal of Advanced Technological Education (JATE ) provides a place for community college faculty, students, and others, to share their findings from working on grants ...
