Industrial revolution has greatly changed the process of human being social civilization, which make us enjoy the fruit of industrial civilization but also bring us disastrous effects resulted from environmental pollution and ecological damage. Especially, environmental contamination is more serious and polluted condition is more complicated with the rapid development of technology. On the other hand, the demands of environmental quality are becoming higher and can’t be achieved by traditional technology of pollution control. Environmental biotechnology is new type cross subject, as prevailing trends of environmental technology, formed by combining modern biotechnology and environment science and engineering, which is effective measure to solve complicated environment problems with both profit of economy and environment. The curriculum titled《Molecular biology and Environmental engineering》intends to introduce fundamentals of molecular biology and application of technology in environment pollution control, also expressing the interdependence relationship between biotechnology and environment pollution control and accelerating the development each other as components of environmental fields. Therefore, 《Molecular biology and Environmental engineering》can be regards as not only basic curriculum for environment related majors but also as universalized curriculum for environment unrelated majors.
The objectives of this curriculum: displaying the unity of systematic, popular, professional and interest, highly summarizing the basic concept, research fields, developing and trends, covering the basic theory of molecular biology, application of environmental biotechnology in pollution control, bioremediation, clean-up production, utilization of waste pollution monitoring and so on.
