1996 marked the third year in which the Department of Energy, through the auspices of the UCES project, presented the Undergraduate Computational Science award. Awards were presented for seven submissions, and two were granted honorable mention. Principal authors were guests of the Department of Energy at an awards exposition and luncheon held at the Holiday Inn Capitol Hill in Washington, D. C., September 20, 1996

The keynote address at the luncheon was presented by David Nelson, Associate Director of Energy Research for the Office of Computational and Technology Research at the Department of Energy.

Dr. David Nelson

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.

1996 was also the first year in which the awards program received corporate sponsorship from companies interested in supporting computational science education. These sponsors --- Jones and Bartlett, Publishers, TELOS/Springer-Verlag, John Wiley and Sons, and the IEEE Computer Society --- provided additional prizes for the winning entries and honorable mentions.
