1996 UGCSA Winners As part of its charter to promote excellence in CSE education, the Undergraduate Computational Engineering and Science project sponsors national awards programs to reward innovative contributions to the field. Foremost among these is the Undergraduate Computational Science Education Awards (UGCSA) which recognizes outstanding contributions to undergraduate CSE education by faculty. The cycle for the 1996 competition was recently completed. In an extremely competitive year with many fine submissions, the judging committee chose seven submissions as being particularly worthy of recognition. Two more were given honorable mention. A list of the award winners and honorable mentions is appended below, including name, address and institution of the winners, and the title of their proposal. Details of their submission will appear within the next month at http://uces.ameslab.gov/uces/awards On Friday, September 20th, a presentation session will be held for the winning entries in Washington, DC. The presentation session will be held at Holiday Inn Capitol 550 C Street, SW, Washington, DC from approximately 1-4:30 pm. This session is open to the public and interested parties are invited to attend. If you will be in the DC area, or know of someone in the area who would be interested in seeing these innovative contributions to CSE education, please try to make the session. If you plan to attend, please RSVP to ugcsa at uep.ameslab.gov The UGCSA, including profiles of the 1995 winners, and other UCES sponsored awards programs were covered in an article which appeared in the Winter issue of the IEEE Computational Science & Engineering journal. The schedule for the 1997 awards cycle has not yet been set, but will be announced in this forum when it is determined. Please join me in extending congratulations to all of the award winners. I hope to see many of you next week in Washington DC. Please feel free to address any questions about this, or the other UCES awards programs, to me at uces at ameslab.gov Yours ---- Tom >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Terry G.
