TCNJ

4 THE BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING RESEARCH SUITE will allow advanced designs and analysis with sophisticated instrumentation, including confocal microscopy, human performance instrumentation, and biosafety level 2 facilities that allow for sophisticated experiments in support of our research thrusts in areas such as neural engineering and prosthetics, tissue engineering, physiological control systems, and hemocompatibility. THE COMPUTER SCIENCE FACULTY- STUDENT COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH SUITE has been intentionally designed to accommodate the wide array of research areas in which our faculty and students work—computer networking and security, artificial intelligence, grid computing and computational journalism, human-computer interaction—so this can happen in a team setting. PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS: STEM BUILDING A NEW 89,000-SQUARE-FOOT, state-of- the-art STEM Building is the heart of this project. Slated to open in fall 2017, it has been designed from the ground up to facilitate a fresh, multifaceted approach to teaching and learning. Glass replaces walls. Interactive lounges supplant isolated hallways. Teaching and research occur across—rather than within—disciplines. By bringing students and faculty closer together, without barriers and across boundaries, we can prepare a new generation of TCNJ graduates for the demands of the STEM economy: creative thinkers who are comfortable working on teams and collaborating across disciplines.
