Drexel University will partner with Swarthmore-based e4n-6 Corp., a computer forensics lab, and El Segundo, Calif.-base Aerospace Corp., a nonprofit defense research firm, to create the Institute for Advanced Forensic Engineering. Aerospace Corp. will provide access to its $140-million worth of computers and communications technologies, accommodating the Institute's research into advanced cyber- and physical forensics.
The center, which will be launched in January 2003, will develop a cyber-forensics curriculum as well as providing services to law-enforcement agencies. Companies and venture capitalists will work with the Institute to commercialize developing technologies. The University of Delaware, Delaware State University, and the New Jersey Institute of Technology may also participate in the center's research.
