Up to Reports | 1996 Report | Acknowledgement | Abstract | Description (detailed)

It is a pleasure to take this opportunity to thank the many individuals and organizations who gave their support to the various aspects of the development, promotion, and implementation of Houston PREP 1996. Their encouragement and interest are significant forces behind our efforts.

Through the Houston PREP program, the Center for Computational Science and Advanced Distributed Simulation (CCSDS) is doing its part to respond to the dwindling number of students entering careers in Engineering, Mathematics, and Science, which is occurring on a national scale. Notably, the expanding economically and socially disadvantaged population groups also are not choosing these career options. Houston PREP is designed to encourage students from these groups into these careers. Moving forward into the next century without such efforts, our nation is risking its leadership role in the high technology society that we have developed.

Such programs as Houston PREP are making a difference. The people and organizations that support it are the backbone of this development. We extend our sincerest thanks to all of you.
