e-Polymers is a forum dedicated to the free and fast exchange of information. Therefore, it will comprise original publications on basic polymer science and engineering, reviews on trends in science and technology, in academia and industry, reports on educational topics, information about joint programmes, e.g. of the EU, job advertisements and appointments of new chairs etc., business reports (abstracts), commercial links and advertisements.

Thus, e-Polymers is the answer to the strange situation that many institutions cannot afford to subscribe to journals which - at the same time - they strongly support by submission of high-quality papers, refereeing etc.

American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), along with academic and business leaders from leading US and Indian universities have launched an initiative to build US-India collaborations in order to make engineering education and research more relevant to the needs of the global society and to the aptitudes and aspirations ofnew generations of youth.

It includes lectures such as:

Artificial Organs
Sensory Organ Replacement and Repair
The Transmission-Line Modeling (TLM) Method in Electromagnetics
Computational Electronics
Engineering Ethics: Peace, Justice, and the Earth

Center for Integrated Bioinformatics focuses on a system approach to bioinformatics in which information at the gene, protein, cell, tissue, organ, and system level is integrated and interpreted for early detection, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment of complex diseases such as cancer. The overall objective of the educational program is to train students in system approaches for the development of useful computational models of living systems and novel enabling informatics technologies in life sciences.

See: Center for Integrated Bioinformatics at Drexel's School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems, 'What is Bioinformatics?' and Glossary of biotechnology terms to get some basic idea about this emerging field of technology.
