Governor's School of Engineering and Technology
- Governor's School of Engineering and Technology
The Governor's School of Engineering and Technology, or GSET, is one of the six schools that comprise the New Jersey Governor's School program. Since its inception, the program has been held at Rutgers University in Piscataway, in Middlesex County, New Jersey and aims to educate scholars in the fields of engineering and technology. A typical student participates in an elective, along with the core courses of Physics, "New Tech," and Robotics. Available electives for the year of 2008 included technology math, solar power, seismic engineering, and biomedical engineering.
Core classes are fairly involved and consume most of a student's academic time at GSET. The robotics course is centered around the construction of robots to accomplish certain tasks. Special emphasis is placed on creativity in design. For the year of 2008, there were two robotics competitions in line-following and robotic soccer. Other classes included physics, which stressed newer ideas, such as Relativity and String Theory, over the traditional mainstays of Kinematics and Newtonian Physics. "New Tech," taught by Blase Ur, stresses the importance of security and understanding in today's increasingly technology-oriented world.
Technology Math is one elective offered by GSET. This comprehensive class aims to introduce students to the basis of modern cryptography and number theory.
Solar Power is another elective offered. This class teaches students about solar cell design, theory, implementation, future, and current and new solar cell technologies.
