Какие же специальности окажутся на гребне волны в XXI веке?По прогнозам специалистов наряду с инженерными специальностями, на лидирующие позиции выйдут специальности на стыке электроники и биотехнологий, использующие биологические системы и их элементы. В настоящее время биотехнологии довольно широко применяются в сельском хозяйстве, где с помощью генной инженерии и методов микробиологии получают генно-модифицированные Биотехнологии молекулярной продукты. используются в медицине,в биофармацевтических производствах и в других отраслях. Специальности на стыке электроники и биотехнологий требуют от специалиста глубоких знаний как в электронике, так и в биоинженерии. Вполне вероятно, что рабочие биочипы дело весьма недалекого будущего.Все большую важность будут приобретать проблемы сохранения окружающей среды. С одной стороны, начнет повышаться спрос на профессиональных экологов, а с другой - расширяться спектр требований кзащитникам природы. Специальность эколога будет требовать знания физики, 23химии и биологии, навыков компьютерного моделирования, проходящих в природе процессов. Профессия эколога станет одной из важнейших и самых востребованных профессий. Tакже будут востребованы медицинские специальности, связанные с поиском средств продления жизни и все специальности, связанные с нанотехнологиями. Этим отраслям на ближайшeе десятилетие обещана активная поддержка и финансирование. Конечно же, это далеко не весь список популярных и наиболее востребованных профессий будущего для специалистов-биологов. Так что, может быть стоит задуматься о профессии биостатистика или специалиста-лектора педагога по защите окружающей среды.Add new vocabulary to your vocabulary notebook.1.
