Student Design Competition As navel architects and marine engineers, our challenge is to be innovative within design and operational restraints. At SNAME, we know we have some of the best and the brightest students around and each year the SNAME Student Design Competition picks a design concept to challenge the student’s creativity to achieve a design goal given limited materials and time. Teams face-off against each other in a Battle Royal that will push each team’s design to the limit. This year, with $1000 in cash prizes donated by NETSCO, the stakes are high and the SNAME Student Design Competition promises to be a battle you don’t want to miss. Students and Young Professionals Job Fair The SNAME Student Steering Committee is hosting the "Students and Young Professionals Job Fair." We would like to you to participate in this year’s Job Fair.
