Categories
We
are leaving the January 1st survey question open – we
have had a good number of responses, but want to be sure that
everyone has had a chance to give an opinion. If you have questions
or would like to send additional comments, please submit them
to Nancy Ostin at nostin@sname.org.
The
SNAME Executive Committee is considering a change to the bylaws
that would eliminate the competence and experience requirements
that distinguish the different grades of membership: Member
and Associate Member. This would essentially reduce our membership
categories to Fellow, Member, Affiliate, and Student. Would
you support such a change?
Click
here to participate in the survey.

Subcommittee on Standards web site for downloading and review/comment.
ISO DIS 28004 Security management systems for the supply chain
— Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification
of supply chain security management systems (Apr 7, 2007). Comments
should be forwarded to Mr. Howard Hime at the U.S. Coast Guard
by the comment due date shown using address howard.l.hime@uscg.mil.
A ballot/comment sheet for this purpose is available on the

Engineers
Week
February 18-24, 2007
This
year, SNAME plans to begin an effort to increase awareness of
marine and ocean engineering, and other marine science-related
careers by taking advantage of the spotlight Engineers Week
will shine on technical and engineering careers and education.
Engineers Week is a coalition of engineering, professional and
technical societies and corporations and government agencies,
founded by the National Society of Professional Engineers. The
purpose is to "ensure a diverse and well-educated future
engineering workforce by increasing understanding of and interest
in engineering and technology careers among young students and
by promoting pre-college literacy in math and science."
As a SNAME member, you can participate in Engineers Week by
contacting your local middle or high school and offer to make
a presentation to science classes. Start with the Guidance Counselor,
or the head of the Science or Math Department. Your section
can develop a creative design competition geared towards kids,
and SNAME HQ will help you publicize your efforts! If you need
materials to utilize during your presentation, contact sgiver@sname.org
for SNAME's Outreach DVD and brochures.
For
additional Outreach presentation ideas for Engineer's Week,
visit: www.eweek.org/index.shtml
and www.engineeringedu.com/engineersweek.html.

NSRP Approves 16 Ship Production
Panel Projects
The
Executive Control Board of the National Shipbuilding Research
Program Advanced Shipbuilding Enterprise has announced the selection
of 16 new Ship Production Panel projects, totaling approximately
$994,000, specifically designed to save money in Navy shipbuilding
and ship repair. The Navy’s continued sponsorship of the
program is a reflection of their ongoing commitment to cost
reduction in building and maintaining the fleet.
The
Ship Production Panels are subordinate to the Ship Production
Committee, one of SNAME’s Technical and Research Committees,
which consists of the Chairman supported by the Ship Production
Panel Chairs, and selected others. The panels give SNAME
access to a diverse group of U.S. shipbuilding and repair industry
professionals. The Ship Production Committee provides an
important link between the shipbuilding industry and SNAME.

Update
2007
PERC is up and running
Unit 1 Assignment is already posted!
A recent e-mail enquiry questioned as to whether
it is too late to register. The answer is NO!
- The PERC structure is ideal for study at your own
pace. The Unit Assignments and Solutions are posted
according to a schedule and the Online Sessions; once held,
are recorded and made available as transcripts for later reference.
So if you have a travel schedule to keep, all materials remain
available for you to study on your return and at your own pace.
Course tuition remains $500 for SNAME members and is now $750
for non-members, making it advantageous to be or become a SNAME
member (members who have let their membership lapse should renew
their membership promptly and enjoy all of the member benefits).
In
2006 those who took the PERC had a pass rate significantly better
that than those who did not, with a pass rate better than 90%
while the others had a pass rate of 50% or less. The overall
pass rate published by NCEES was 80%. In 2004 and 2005, the
PERC registrant pass rate was 93%.
Register for 2007 PERC online at www.SNAMeLearning.org
or contact Richard Mouk at SNAME Headquarters via e-mail at
rmouk@sname.org or, by
telephone at 201-499-5063. If you have other questions, please
send them to Walter Maclean, wmaclean@sname.org
or David Chapman at dchapman@sname.org.
We will try to respond promptly.
