Biotechnology is the use of biology to solve problems and make useful products. The growth of the field is linked to the development of genetic engineering. Biotechnology merges biological information with computer technology to advance research in other areas, including nanotechnology and regenerative medicine. Today there are numerous commercial biotechnology firms that manufacture genetically engineered substances for a variety of mostly medical, agricultural, and ecological uses. Every year there are over ten thousand graduates on biotechnology specialty. However undergraduate students majoring in biotechnology specialty face server challenges after graduation. This phenomenon is resulted from the limitations of the specialty and lack of education forms. In this case, university students are lack of accurate evaluations and recognition on their self-qualities and the social requirements. Having decided to improve the quality of education the next step is to gather available resources and sift through them, with the help of appropriate teaching personnel. These resources should be organized in a fashion that enables any course requirements to be met with confidence. Unfortunately, many educational institutions rely on methods that prove too stressful for some students, revealing that the quality of education in these systems has not been improved to allow for individuals who need protection from overwhelming pressure to succeed. There are many successful people who are self-educated, having a quality of education achieved without sacrificing themselves to educational idols or becoming obsessive about reaching great academic heights. In this paper, the undergraduate students majoring in biotechnology specialty are researched. They are from eight colleges and universities in Hebei Province and questionnaire research is done on their qualities. The paper has specifically analyzed the current situation of the quality of undergraduate students majoring in biotechnology specialty, and the implementation situation of education and quality education activities. 1530 undergraduate students majoring in biotechnology specialty have been taken as the research objects and investigation and analysis is made on the current situation of quality education.

1.2. Content and method
A questionnaire is a research instrument consisting of a series of questions and other prompts for the purpose of gathering information from respondents. Although they are often designed for statistical analysis of the responses, this is not always the case. Questionnaires have advantages over some other types of surveys in that they are cheap, do not require as much effort from the questioner as verbal or telephone surveys, and often have standardized answers that make it simple to compile data. However, such standardized answers may frustrate users. Questionnaires are also sharply limited by the fact that respondents must be able to read the questions and respond to them. Thus, for some demographic groups conducting a survey by questionnaire may not be practical. As a type of survey, questionnaires also have many of the same problems relating to question construction and wording that exist in other types of opinion polls. 1530 questionnaires are given and 1499 have been returned, with the returning rate of 98%.
After arranging the original data of the investigation, excel table is used to make statistic analysis.
