This three year renewal Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site program, Green Energy Technology for Undergraduates Program (GET-UP) at Rutgers University was developed to address the national need for environmentally friendly power and to this end, enrich the population of STEM professionals that are prepared to tackle the technical challenges associated with this national need. The proposed program will broaden its impact via recruitment of students who may not have an opportunity to engage in undergraduate research, such as (but not limited to) underrepresented minorities and women, students from two-year colleges, veterans, and first-generation college and economically disadvantaged students. The intellectual focus of GET UP centers around three thrusts: nanotechnology and materials, renewable and sustainable fuels, and devices and energy management systems and civil structures for energy generation, conversion and storage. New components have been added to the program to enhance GET UP fellows' self-efficacy in STEM: an industrial advisory board and a workshop and study on gender implicit bias for programmatic transformation. The goals of GET UP are to: (1) engage undergraduate (UG) students in innovative "green" science and engineering research over 10 weeks during the summer, (2) provide UG scholars with professional development and academic enrichment programs and (3) foster UGs' understanding of science, technology and engineering and math (STEM). REU scholars will spend the majority of their time conducting research, while the remaining time will be allotted for professional and academic development, seminars, field trips, and social events aimed at developing student-faculty interaction and student-student communication. Students will be supported during the academic year through e-mentoring and funding for publication of papers and travel to technical conferences.

这三年的更新研究经验为本科生（REU）网站程序，绿色能源技术为本科生计划（GET-UP）在罗格斯大学的开发，以满足国家对环保电力的需求，并为此，丰富的干专业人员的人口准备解决与这个国家的需要相关的技术挑战。拟议的计划将通过招募可能没有机会从事本科研究的学生来扩大其影响，例如（但不限于）代表性不足的少数民族和妇女，两年制大学的学生，退伍军人，以及第一代大学和经济困难的学生。GET UP的知识重点围绕三个方面：纳米技术和材料，可再生和可持续燃料，以及用于能源生产，转换和储存的设备和能源管理系统以及民用结构。该方案增加了新的组成部分，以提高“起床”研究员在STEM方面的自我效能：一个工业咨询委员会和一个关于方案改革中性别隐性偏见的讲习班和研究。GET UP的目标是：（1）让本科（UG）学生在夏季进行为期10周的创新“绿色”科学和工程研究，（2）为UG学者提供专业发展和学术充实计划，（3）促进UG对科学，技术和工程以及数学（STEM）的理解。REU学者将花费大部分时间进行研究，而剩余的时间将分配给专业和学术发展，研讨会，实地考察和旨在发展师生互动和学生与学生沟通的社会活动。学生将在学年期间通过电子辅导和资助出版论文和前往技术会议得到支持。
