Accordingly, the educational awareness regarding
biotechnology issues among the undergraduate students at
the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) has shown that
students from the college of science and Food and Agriculture
were more aware of the use of biotechnology and its environmental
impact in comparison to students from other colleges.
However, no significant differences were recorded between
freshly admitted students and those that are at higher academic
levels, suggesting that students have mainly gained their
knowledge through the general education rather than the academic
achievement at the university level
