Computational methods, in many different forms, are now used very widely in all branches of engineering and the sciences; and this use will undoubtedly increase during the coming decades. We therefore believe that it is very timely to form ISCES with the mission of bringing together, and for fostering cross-fertilization of ideas between , educators,researchers, and practitioners from all fields of engineering (including aerospace, civil, mechanical,computer science, microelectronics, MEMS,materials science, engineering mechanics, and others), and the sciences( including physics,biology,chemistry,health sciences,biomedical sciences,and others), world-wide, who have a common interest in computational methods and models. There will be considerable benefits to members of ISCES, with no membership dues.

The means of communication among ISCES members will be the world-wide web through this site: http://www.isces.org/. It will provide a host of services, at no cost, to the members of ISCES. Please revisit this site periodically, for continuous updates of information.
