The 2009 Winning Submission by the
Norwegian University of Science & Technology |
OVERVIEW
The Lisnyk Student Ship Design Competition provides student teams the opportunity to use all they know to design a ship and gain the feedback of expert judges. The competition is sponsored by SNAME and ASNE, and all participating students must be ASNE and/or SNAME Student Members.
Students in college and university programs in Naval Architecture, Marine Engineering, or other maritime specialties are encouraged to combine talents to produce owner's requirements and designs of a seaworthy vessel. Judges then discuss and compare the merits of each application and, through the application of grading criteria, determine honorees. Awards are presented at the SNAME Annual Meeting.
