In June 1997, Rensselaer submitted a proposal, The Rensselaer Learning Continuum, in response to the request for proposal, The Utilization for Advanced Intel Based Platforms In Computationally Demanding Tasks by the Intel_® Corporation.

In October 1997, Intel announced the second round of grants in its three-year Technology for Education 2000 program. Rensselaer was awarded $2.4 million (based on the fair market value prices for equipment and materials). The proposal is interdisciplinary and impacts the entire Institute, linking education and research in new ways focusing on two themes: developing distributed collaborative learning environments and simulation, modeling, and parallel processing environments. Each of the 11 projects satisfies one or more of the following criteria: numerically intensive use of computing, graphically intensive use of computing, and communications intensive use of computing.

Intel_® is providing the computing equipment and Microsoft_® is donating the software, development tools, and support.
