Courses for PE Credit

Courses for PE Credit

	The SNAME Annual Meeting will provide accreditation support to professional engineers in 2010 through the following course offerings. Each will provide accreditation for 7 professional development hours. Topics and presenters may change. Sailing Yacht Design Analysis by Dr. Robert Beck and Dr. Kevin Maki This course wll focus on the different analyses of the forces and moments on a sailing yeacht, airfoil theory, keel and rudder design, sail design, model testing, and the use fo computers in yacht performance analysis. A spreadsheet-based velocity prediction program and polar velocity diagram will be introduced. The course will draw heavily on the textbook Principles of Yacht Design by Larrson and Eliasson. Naval Architecture for the Marine Professional by William H. Garzke and Michael Bateman This course will feature a review of naval architecture that will cover the principles and development of lines drawings, ship hydrostatics, the use of Simpson’s Rule, intact and damage stability, tonnage admeasurement, weight estimating, longitudinal strength, principles of structure, resistance and propulsion, and basic principles of arrangements. Sample problems illustrating naval architecture theory will also be discussed. Attendees will be asked to work one problem in naval architecture at the end of the seven-hour session. The attendees’ solutions will be discussed. An exam problem is necessary for those seeking Continuing Education credit. Ship Production by Dr. Thomas Lamb This course introduces Design for Production, which is the deliberate act of designing a product to meet its specified technical and operational requirements and qualify so that the production costs will be minimal through low work content and ease of construction. For questions on PE course credit offerings at the 2010 Annual Meeting, please contact Professor Alan Rowen at arowen@sname.org.
