Volunteer
Judges Needed for
DC-Area Science Fairs |
|
Each year
the ASNE/SNAME Committee on Environmental Engineering
solicits volunteers to serve as judges at various regional science and engineering
fairs. The Committee finds judges, gives them really nice plaques, and empowers
them with the authority to award plaques to students who show promise in marine
environmental engineering. You do not need to be an environmental engineer to
serve as a judge. All you need is a big heart and the goodness to spend a few
hours one Saturday morning giving back to the community. And this is a wonderful
opportunity to give back to the community. The kids get a lot out of it (both
from working on their projects and from the judging process), and the folks
who serve as judges walk away with the satisfaction of knowing that they have
done something meaningful. And often the folks who serve as judges walk away
better educated. After all, some of these kids are very, very smart. Please

Chairman and Account Manager-ChevronTexaco at Technip Offshore. “During
some major OTC sessions, participants discuss how LNG import terminals are
moving offshore because of federal land issues, deepwater access for next
generation carriers, and access to existing gas pipeline infrastructure. Click
