In 1995, just one year after the founding of IEEE Computational Science & Engineering—the precursor of CiSE—founding editor-in-chief Ahmed H. Sameh wrote that the board's goal was "making this magazine the flagship of all aspects of computational science and engineering" \cite{sameh1995}.  What was it like at the time? 1995 marks the beginning of the dot-com boom. That year, Amazon and eBay first opened their digital doors, the Intel Pentium Pro was released, IBM unveiled Deep Blue, and the NumPy library for array computing in Python was first introduced. It was also the year that Peter Norvig and Stuart Russell published their classic textbook on Artificial Intelligence \cite{russell1995}. And the University of Texas at Austin established its program in computational and applied mathematics, which J. Tinsley Oden announced in CS&E \cite{Oden_1995}. The dozen tenure-track positions opened with the new program and institute were housed in the departments of mathematics, computer science, engineering mechanics, aerospace engineering and other engineering specialties. It was conceived as a broadly interdisciplinary program, and that has been the hallmark of computational science and engineering across time.
