Governor's School of Engineering and Technology
The Governor's School of Engineering and Technology, or GSET, is one of the two programs of the Governor's School of New Jersey. Since its inception, the program has been held at Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey, and aims to educate scholars in the fields of engineering and technology. This program is tuition-free and receives funding from sponsors, alumni, the state of New Jersey, Rutgers University, and others. This 4-week residential summer program is academically intense and demanding. It typically runs from the end of June to the middle/end of July. Students participate in two elective courses, along with the core courses of Physics, and Robotics. Their schedule also includes keynote speakers, tours, enrichment activities, and a research project. The research project is one of the main focuses of the program, in which students conduct research, design experiments, and write a professional research paper. On the final day, a symposium is held to showcase the research, projects, and creations.
