The case study describes how UW Bothell developed&nbsp;short term&nbsp;credentials (i.e.&nbsp;digital badges), in collaboration with industry, by&nbsp;utilizing&nbsp;content from existing UW Bothell courses to teach students the skills needed for entry-level biotechnology positions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CBIT was&nbsp;established&nbsp;in 2021 with the mission of \u201ccreating a sustained, robust workforce pool to support the growing biotechnology industry in Bothell and the greater Puget Sound region.\u201d With a grant from Life Sciences Washington, CBIT formed a faculty task force to develop biotechnology curriculum at UW Bothell. The first phase of this work was to incorporate existing UW Bothell courses that align with skills needed for two specific positions: biomanufacturing technician and quality assurance\/quality control associate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The task force prioritized engagement with industry, with a series of forums to discuss the skills students need to enter the biotechnology industry (listed on the following page). After a series of high-engagement sessions, the team developed learning outcomes for the digital badges and mapped these to existing curriculum.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The task force developed two draft digital badges included in the UW Canvas Credentials system:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493

As one industry representative said, \u201cWhen I was in college, I had no idea about the industry; I was&nbsp;so&nbsp;lost &#8211; I mean, just lost. It was a big gap in my education and made it hard for me to visualize a future career.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are currently no required courses within UW Bothell STEM majors that&nbsp;provide&nbsp;an&nbsp;introduction to&nbsp;the biotechnology industry. However, UW Bothell faculty have previously taught a discovery seminar called \u201cBiotechnology: from Lab to Shelf the Business of Health,\u201d as well as&nbsp;a special topics&nbsp;course for biology majors that focused on biotechnology. These courses will be adapted to include those topics most relevant to STEM majors preparing for industry, such as:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Introduction to the field of biotechnology (sub-disciplines, careers,&nbsp;basic biotech concepts)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pharmaceutical product development cycle&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How&nbsp;note-taking&nbsp;and lab notebooks correspond to documentation within the field&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This biotechnology course is essential for students to understand how the skills and knowledge they have gained in their four-year degrees have prepared them for jobs in&nbsp;biotechnology. The course will be offered for the first time in Spring&nbsp;2026.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PRIMARY TAKEAWAYS FROM INDUSTRY\/FACULTY FORUMS&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CORE STEM LAB SKILLS<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the general lab skills students need are part of required courses for almost any STEM major, including scientific method, use of lab protocols, data analysis, instrument calibration, and documentation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>VALUE OF PROFESSIONAL SKILLS<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Professional (or \u201csoft\u201d) skills, such as collaboration, communication, and critical&nbsp;thinking&nbsp;were&nbsp;more important to success in entry-level biotechnology technician roles than extensive lab experience or in-depth knowledge of biology and chemistry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CROSS-DISCIPLINARY KNOWLEDGE GAPS<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students from STEM majors outside of biology and chemistry need some fundamental knowledge of certain concepts such as measuring pH levels, cell culture procedures, protein structure, basic components of viruses, which could be covered in existing introductory courses outside the students\u2019 major.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ADVANCED NEEDS FOR BIO\/CHEM MAJORS<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who have completed two years in biology and\/or chemistry majors would&nbsp;benefit&nbsp;from&nbsp;additional&nbsp;course work in bioinformatics, advanced instrumentation, and biochemistry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>INDUSTRY CONTEXT &amp;
