About the Organizing Societies

The American Society of Naval Engineers
Marine Technology Society

The Society of Naval Architects 
& Marine Engineers
ASNE is the seventh oldest technical society in the United States.  Founded in 1888, the purposes of ASNE are: to advance the knowledge and practice of naval engineering in public and private applications and operations; to enhance the professionalism and well-being of members; and to promote naval engineering as a career field.

Society activities provide support for the U.S. Navy; U.S. Coast Guard; U.S. Marine Corps; U.S. Merchant Marine and U.S. Army. 		MTS was incorporated in June 1963 to give members of academia, government and industry a common forum for the exchange of information and ideas. Our guiding purpose is: "To promote awareness, understanding, advancement and application of marine technology.”

Today, MTS members include businesses, institutions, individual professionals and students who are ocean engineers, technologists, policy makers and educators. 		SNAME was organized in 1893, to advance the art, science, and practice of naval architecture, shipbuilding and marine engineering. For over a century members have included commercial and governmental practitioners, students, and educators of naval architecture, shipbuilding, and marine and ocean engineering.

The Marine Forensics Technical & Research Committee leads Society efforts in forensic research at SNAME.
