  1. TED 304 – Designs in Bio-Related Technology Definitions and Comparisons of Biotechnology and Bio-Related Technology

  2. Selected Definitionsby Grace • Bio-Related Technology is the commercialization of cell biology. • Bio-Related Technology is an umbrella term that covers various techniques for using the properties of living things to make products or provide services. • Bio-Related Technology is an umbrella term that covers various techniques for using the properties of living to make products or provide services.

  3. Selected DefinitionsBiotechnology • Biotechnology is the use of living things, especially cells and bacteria, in industrial processes (Cambridge) • Biotechnology is the application of the principles of engineering and technology to the life sciences (The American Heritage). • Bio-Related Technology is any technique that uses living organisms to make or modify products, plants and animals. (Federal Coordinating Council for Science, Engineering, and Technology)

  4. Selected DefinitionsBiotechnology • Biotechnology is the application of scientific knowledge to transfer beneficial genetic traits from one species to another to enhance or protect an organism.(DuPont) • Biotechnology is the deliberate manipulation of DNA molecules to produce commercial products from living organisms.(Webber)

  5. Selected DefinitionsBiotechnology • Biotechnology is a set of biological techniques developed through basic research and now applied to research and product development. In particular, the use by industry of recombinant DNA, cell fusion, and new bioprocessing techniques.(Lefers) • Bio-Related Technology is the manipulation of biological organisms to make products to benefit human beings. Biotechnology contributes to such diverse areas as food production, waste disposal, mining, and medicine. (Levine)

  6. Selected DefinitionsBio-Related Technology • Bio-Related Technology is the use of living organisms to make commercial products. (Barrow) • Bio-Related Technology is the practical application of mechanical devices, products, substances, or organisms to improve health or contribute to the harmony between humans and their environment. (Applied Technologies)

  7. Selected DefinitionsBio-Related Technology • Bio-related technology applies to the production process techniques relating to the products of agriculture, and the biological processes tied to fuel and material production such as waste treatment, recycling, and hydroponics. (DOE Mass) • Bio-Related Technology is the practical application of mechanical devices, products, substances, or organisms to provide health or harmony between humans and their environment. (Savage)

  8. Selected DefinitionsBio-Related Technology • Bio-Related Technology is a broad field which includes seven major areas: bioengineering, health care, cultivation of plants and animals, fuel and chemical production, waste management and treatment, materials applications, and regulation and safety. It implies the practical application of mechanical devices, products, substances, or organisms to improve health or contribute to the harmony between humans and their environment. (Savage)

  9. Working Definition • Bio-Related Technology is a broad field which includes seven major areas: bioengineering, health care, cultivation of plants and animals, fuel and chemical production, waste management and treatment, materials applications, and regulation and safety. It implies the practical application of mechanical devices, products, substances, or organisms to improve health or contribute to the harmony between humans and their environment.
