IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ALUMNI:
The Governor's School of Engineering and Technology is a unique summer program for gifted high school students who have completed their junior year. Students live on the campus of the School of Engineering at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. They enroll in a set of challenging courses and electives that cover material not normally seen in high schools or even at the undergraduate level. All students also undertake a small-group research project, which culminates in a conference-style research paper and presentation at our research symposium.
The Governor's School aims high. In a challenging and diverse environment, our students gain a thorough understanding of the field of engineering and current research trends, greatly improve their teamwork and leadership skills, and explore their educational and career options in the engineering and technology fields. The students also make connections with professors, professionals, and peers throughout the state of New Jersey, take personal responsibility for their intellectual advancement, and achieve a better understanding of engineers' impact on society. The Governor's School of Engineering and Technology will be running from June 29th - July 19th, 2008.
Please contact program coordinator Blase Ur at blaseur (.AT.) rci.rutgers.edu (replace (.AT.) with the @ symbol) if you have any questions.
