Boston University’s BEST Noyce Scholarship Program

The Bringing Engineers into STEM Teaching (BEST) Project (2013-2018) was a collaboration of the School of Education and the College of Engineering at Boston University and six schools or districts in the Boston area. This program focused on bringing the mathematical, technological, and design expertise of engineers into secondary classrooms. BEST scholars experienced a rich, inquiry-based teacher preparation program and work closely with teachers, mathematics educators, engineers, and students. The program was especially interested in helping practicing engineers and newly graduated engineers bring their passion for solving challenging problems to enter the mathematics teaching profession.
