Greetings to all of you with an interested in Computational Science education. As some of you know, as part of its charter to promote excellence in CSE education, the UCES project sponsors several (inter)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 by faculty.
The cycle for the 1995 competition was recently completed. In a very competitive year with many fine submissions, the judging committee chose eleven as being particularly worthy of recognition. Two more submissions were given honorable mention. A list of the award winners and honorable mentions is appended below, including name, address and institution of the winners, title of their proposal, and an associated URL for learning more about their submission.
In addition, on Friday, August 25th, a poster and presentation session will be held for the winning entries in Washington, DC. Afterwards there will be a reception in their honor.
The UGCSA, including profiles of this year's winners, and other UCES sponsored awards programs will be covered in an article to appear in the Winter issue of the IEEE Computational Science & Engineering journal.
The schedule for the 1996 awards cycle has not yet been set, but will be announced in this forum when it is determined.
My congratulations to all of the award winners, and 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@ameslab.gov
Yours ---- Tom
