SOS
Results
The
SOS question last month in regard to membership categories
received our strongest response yet to an SOS question!
The
SNAME Executive Committee is considering a change to the bylaws
that would eliminate the competency 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?
68% responding indicated that they would support a change
32% opposed a change
The
discussion has sparked much positive reflection on the rigueur
of the professional status and education required, as well
as an acknowledgement that our stature as a professional society
is enhanced by the quality of the membership. Look for more
information in future issues of eNews.

For
the Small-Craft Enthusiast
The
Small Craft Papers CD, which includes over
300 papers relevant to the small craft community, has become
a best seller since it became available in November 2003. SNAME’s
Small Craft Committee pulled these papers from SNAME Transactions,
Marine Technology, Journal of Ship Research and Section papers
dating from 1985-2003
The
papers are organized with a linked index to enable papers to
be located by author, title original source, or subject. The
CD is now in its third printing and priced at only $50 to SNAME
members.
To
order the CD please email Tommie-Anne Faix at tfaix@sname.org

Engineers
Week
February 18-24, 2007
Shine
the spotlight on careers in Engineering! Help the future of
the field by increasing student awareness of marine and ocean
engineering, and marine science-related careers by participating
in Engineers Week, February 18-24, 2007. 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."
Make a presentation to your child's class, or contact your
local middle or high school and offer to speak to science
or math classes during Engineers Week. Get your SNAME section
involved and 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.
