The 2016-17 CalTeach Physical Sciences and Engineering (CTPSE) Noyce Scholars (l-r): Levi Miller, Sierra Gordon, Zachary Lotze, Raymond Tsang, Thomas Riparetti-Brown
The Gevirtz School at UC Santa Barbara has named its 2016-17 CalTeach Physical Sciences and Engineering (CTPSE) Noyce Scholars, five students working on their teaching credentials in science (physics). The funding for the Noyce Scholars comes from a $1.19 million grant awarded to UC Santa Barbara in 2012 from the National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Division of Undergraduate Education.
The 2016-17 CTPSE Noyce Scholars are:
Sierra Gordon
Zachary Lotze
Levi Miller
Thomas Riparetti-Brown
Raymond Tsang
The purpose of CalTeach Physical Sciences and Engineering (CTPSE) is to encourage undergraduates in chemistry, engineering, computer science, and physics to pursue a secondary science teaching credential in chemistry or physics. CTPSE, part of the larger CalTeach program, is the second Noyce program awarded to UCSB. CTPSE includes opportunities to learn to teach from award-winning science teachers at Dos Pueblos High School’s Engineering Academy (DPEA).
