1995 marked the second presenting of the Undergraduate Computational Science award, sponsored by the Department of Energy through the Office of Scientific Computing. Awards were presented for eleven submissions, and two submissions were granted honorable mention. Principal authors were guests of the Department of Energy at an awards exposition and dinner held at the Grand Hyatt in Washington D.C., on Saturday, 16 September. (Winners Paul Abbott, John O'Connor, and Hannes Jónsson were unable to attend, as all were abroad at the time of the banquet. Professor Jónsson was represented by Susan Rempe, his teaching assistant.)

Winners of the 1995 awards

An electronic presentation/poster session was held in the afternoon at which the awardees exhibited their projects, almost all of which were presented via the World Wide Web. This session was open to the public and was attended by representatives from government, academia, and industry.

Following dinner, a talk was presented by Professor Roscoe Giles of Boston University on the future of World Wide Web based educational endeavours. In addition, Prof. Giles was honored with the first UCES Leadership in Computational Science Education Award for his many contributions to the field of undergraduate CSE education.
