ties Magazine takes special pride in its relationship with two outstanding institutions, Drexel University and The College of New Jersey. This groundbreaking collaboration has fostered a unique publication which has been cited for its role in sharing a new vision of technology education.

Drexel University, founding publisher of ties, is recognized nationally and internationally as a leading technology institution with a strong focus on education for careers in design, business and industry, and engineering. Drexel's commitment to science, computer literacy and applied technology created an excellent environment for ties' developmental phase, drawing on its state-of-the-art Design and Imaging Center and the professional experience of its staff.

In 1993, The College of New Jersey invited ties to join forces with its widely acclaimed technology teacher training program and establish editorial offices in the School of Engineering. This transition allowed ties to take advantage of the resources of a new engineering program and a new location with the expanded production facilities. Now recognized as the pacesetting publication for the technology education profession, ties has entered a new phase of development supported by these two fine institutions and has moved its publication entirely online.
