Tufts student wins Tau Beta Pi Scholarship

Engineering physics major Noah Stiegler, E25, recently won a Tau Beta Pi Scholarship. This year, 253 engineering students across the country were selected for the prestigious honor from a large pool of candidates. Awardees are chosen for their high levels of scholarship, campus leadership and service, and promise in making future contributions to the engineering profession. Stiegler received a Stabile Scholarship, named for Vincent A. Stabile, whose gifts to the Tau Beta Pi Association have permanently endowed scholarships.

At Tufts, Stiegler has been involved in several different campus groups including Tufts Society of Physics Students, Tufts Students for the Exploration and Discovery of Space, JumboSec (Tufts’ cybersecurity club), Tufts Robotics, and the Tufts chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He has worked as a teaching assistant for several courses offered by the Departments of Physics, Computer Science, and Electrical and Computer Engineering. Most recently, he completed an internship with the Berkeley SETI Research Center in California.

Founded in 1885, Tau Beta Pi is the nation's second-oldest honor society and is the only engineering honor society that represents the entire engineering profession. Tufts University formed a Tau Beta Pi chapter in 1927 and currently has 3,031 students and alumni who are members.
