TEXAS INSTITUTE FOR DISCOVERY EDUCATION IN SCIENCE  

The Texas Institute for Discovery Education in Science (TIDES) in the College of Natural Sciences aims to catalyze, support, and showcase innovative, evidence-based undergraduate science education. TIDES was proposed in the CNS 2013 Strategic Plan (as the Texas Center for Science Discovery) as a way to continue and enhance the college’s leading role in STEM education. TIDES is currently located on the third floor of Painter Hall and will have a new physical home upon the renovation of the Bio Labs building that is part of the five-year CNS Master Space Plan.
