1994 marked the first year of the Undergraduate Computational Science award, sponsored by the Department of Energy through the Office of Scientific Computing. Cash awards were presented for thirteen submissions, and four submissions were granted honorable mention. Principal authors and co-authors were guests of the Department of Energy at an awards exposition and dinner held in Washington DC, Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill Hotel, on Friday, 16 September.

An electronic poster session was held in the afternoon at which the awardees exhibited their submissions. This session was open to the public and was attended by representatives from government, academia, and industry.

Following an excellent dinner, introductions were given by James Corones and David Martin, and a talk was presented by Dr. Frank Huban, Executive Director the ASEE (the American Society for Engineering Education) on the future of Engineering Education.
