"This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)."This Science Masters Program (SMP) award aims to develop several well-defined ?green-themed? science concentrations, including biotechnology (especially biofuels), sustainability, urban environmental analysis and management, and industrial mathematics across all three of the Rutgers campuses in Newark, New Brunswick, and Camden, NJ. The goal of the new degree program is to train the next generation of individuals to assume key leadership roles in science-intensive industries and to translate research into commercialization. This program will recruit, enroll, and provide tuition fellowships for two cohorts of students into the new professional science master?s degree program. Additionally, this program will recruit and train talented US students especially from underrepresented populations in STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), and prepare them to obtain high-paying jobs in emerging green-technology industries of critical importance to the economy of the U.S. Ultimately, this initiative will fuel innovation and economic growth in New Jersey and the U.S. The degree includes a science concentration combined with a common set of business ?plus? courses. The business ?plus? courses include finance and accounting, management, communications, marketing, and ethics. Students will complete a research internship as well as an integrated capstone course in which they will learn how to evaluate, convert, and commercialize science, engineering and technology discoveries into new economic ventures. This new SMP model will both improve the STEM to industry connection and increase the number of underrepresented minority graduates in the STEM pipeline.

“该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。“这个科学硕士项目（SMP）奖的目的是发展几个明确的？绿色主题？科学集中，包括生物技术（特别是生物燃料），可持续性，城市环境分析和管理，以及罗格斯大学在纽瓦克，新玩法和新泽西州卡姆登的所有三个校区的工业数学。新学位课程的目标是培养下一代人在科学密集型行业中担任关键领导角色，并将研究转化为商业化。该计划将招募，注册，并提供学费奖学金的两批学生进入新的专业科学硕士？的学位课程。此外，该计划将招募和培训有才华的美国学生，特别是来自STEM学科（科学，技术，工程和数学）代表性不足的人群，并为他们在对美国经济至关重要的新兴绿色技术行业获得高薪工作做好准备。 最终，这一举措将推动新泽西和美国的创新和经济增长。加？课程 生意？加？课程包括财务和会计、管理、传播、市场营销和道德。学生将完成一个研究实习以及一个综合的顶点课程，他们将学习如何评估，转换和商业化的科学，工程和技术发现到新的经济企业。 这种新的SMP模式将改善STEM与行业的联系，并增加STEM管道中代表性不足的少数民族毕业生的数量。
