自然科学学院
自然科学学院(NSCI. 爱德华的 University encompasses the traditional natural sciences; computational sciences; clinical laboratory science; 和 bio信息学, an interdisciplinary 研究 area at the intersection of biology, 数学, 计算机科学.
反映St. 爱德华的使命
Our 自然科学 programs provide in-depth knowledge of scientific fields while taking into consideration broader aspects of the liberal arts education — an emphasis on creativity, 批判性思维和写作.
实践学习
Our curriculum also places a strong emphasis on collaborative, 亲自动手的 learning. Classwork 和 研究 are conducted in world-class classrooms, labs, 和 in the 野生盆地创意研究中心. 我们组成了 跨学科科学研究所(i4), an educational 和 professional framework that aids in building cross-sector partnerships 和 interdisciplinary collaborations through funding mechanisms for NSCI faculty 和 students. 除了, study abroad opportunities have been integrated into our programs so students can explore the world without extending their degree completion timelines.
战略框架
的 自然科学学院 is committed to establishing, sustaining, 和 fostering:
- 我们整个社区的多样性融合
- An environment based on clear communication 和 transparency
- 一个拥有成长心态的学习者社区
- 在学科范围内和跨学科范围的合作
- 一个灵活适应的专业社区

设施
北楼
的 John Brooks Williams North building is home to the University's cutting-edge laboratory instrumentation, 包括奥林巴斯的共聚焦显微镜系统, 复合型和解剖型荧光显微镜, 和核磁共振室. 的 building's rooftop is equipped with two separate transgenic greenhouses.
A Makerspace expected to be fully operational in Spring 2022 will be home to "making" resources for teaching, 研究, 和研讨会.
南建筑
的 John Brooks Williams South building houses high-powered computing laboratories that support projects in robotics, 环境科学与生物信息学. Austin Energy Green Building (AEGB) program awarded its 3-star rating to the building for its environmentally sensitive design. 的 sun penetrates southern-facing windows in the winter to increase solar heat intake, while large overhangs 和 window screens limit solar radiation in the summer.
野生盆地
St. 爱德华的 野生盆地野生保护区 serves as an interdisciplinary 研究 lab 和 a 亲自动手的 learning center for students. 野生盆地 extends over 227 acres within the Balcones Canyonl和s Preserve system with hiking trails, 向公众开放志愿者机会和活动.
教师
Student-faculty collaborations provide irreplaceable opportunities for insights, 创新与增长.
“I guide my students through the discovery process that generates a new awareness of compelling ideas. 这 kind of thought-provoking exchange of questions 和 ideas creates an ideal environment for both the development of students as well as myself as the teacher.——迈克尔·P. 萨科洛，博士，数学教授
的 卓越教学中心 最近(2020-21)被授予计算机科学教授 Dr. Bilal Shebaro 授予杰出教学奖, selected through a rigorous process of "evaluating c和idates' course offerings, 课程设计, 教学方法, 课堂表现, 以及与学生的互动."
