GENERAL RULES
1. Participants must be undergraduate SNAME or ASNE student members. They may compete as individuals or in teams of up to six persons.
2. Design projects that are developed in response to a formal classroom requirement are eligible for the competition as well as thesis projects or designs done independently of the curriculum.
3. More than one design may be submitted from a school but an individual student may only participate in one design.
4. Students intending to enter the competition are requested to submit an Entry Form (copy attached) before starting work. Receipt of this form enables the contest sponsors to communicate with the students if the need arises.
5. The competing individuals or design teams shall prepare an Owner’s Requirements for the design of an ocean-going ship of 500 or more tons full load displacement. The Owner’s Requirements must cover the scope and adhere to the format of the Requirements issued with these Rules. These Owner’s Requirements must be submitted for approval prior to starting design work. They should be sent to Mr. William Rogalski at the address noted on the Entry Form. They will either be approved or rejected by the sponsors in writing within 21 days of receipt. The final owner’s requirements shall be included as an appendix to the final design report. A copy of the 1999-2000 Owner’s Requirements is included as guidance only.
6. Design reports shall be no more than 140 pages in length (including figures, tables, drawings, and appendices, but not including the cover sheet, table of contents, lists of tables and figures, or final owner’s requirements). Large folded prints of drawings are acceptable and need not be bound into the report, but will be included in the page count. Material submitted which exceeds the 140 page limit will not be judged.
7. Reports are encouraged to be delivered in digital format (preferred) or in hard copy. Digital copies may be uploaded to a section of the SNAME web site or provided on CDs. Instructions for uploading reports will be provided to the teams entering the competition. All digital copy should be in .pdf format, and all large drawings need to be formatted to fit on an 11 X 17 inch (or equivalent) fold-out page and have a resolution of at least 300 dpi. Six copies of CDs or hard copies are required. Each must bear the names, signatures and SNAME and/or ASNE membership numbers of the design team leader and any other student members who participated. The faculty advisor’s signature and membership number must also accompany the report with a statement certifying that the work was done by the students. The advisor’s note need not be bound into the report.
8. Designs submitted must be the work of undergraduate students. Any member of the design teams must have not yet received his or her baccalaureate degree, when the work was done. Guidance may come from the faculty advisor or mentors, but it must be accurately referenced and acknowledged.
9. Prizes shall be $1,500 for first, $750 for second, and $500 for third, with the awards going directly to the students submitting the winning designs. Certificates will be presented to the winning design teams for display at their colleges or universities as well as for retention by the team members and faculty advisors. Not all prizes will be awarded if an insufficient number of high quality designs are submitted.
10. If a design team withdraws from the competition, the team leader is requested to notify Mr. William Rogalski promptly at the address noted on the attached Entry Form.
[Note: The winner of the competition will have the opportunity to present the winning design to the Student Design Congress at the next Annual Meeting or at another suitable ASNE or SNAME event.] |
