Student
Design Competition Participation Growing Stronger but we Still
Need More Entries |
|
SNAME has
a number of student design competitions each year that attract entries from
Europe and South America as well as the U.S. Both the number of competitions
and the number of entries have been increasing. The two oldest each have more
than 10 entries this year and the two newer competitions have seven and two entries respectively.
However, we still need more entries.
The granddaddy
of the design competitions is the Dr. James A. Lisnyk Student Ship Design
Competition for ships above 500 tons displacement. The Lisnyk SSDC
is open to undergraduate students who are Student Members of SNAME and/or ASNE
in their final undergraduate year of an accredited naval architecture program.
Students can enter as individuals or in teams of up to six students. Designs
shall meet the requirements for the identified in the competition rules. Read

SNAME Technical and Research Ad Hoc
Panel 13
Head-Sea
Parametric Rolling and Resulting Vessel
and Cargo Securing Loads
The
panel's web site is now available at
www.sname.org/committees/tech_ops/roll/home.html.
The
panel is working to better identify sea and vessel characteristics that
initiate parametric rolling, to propose procedures for vessel operators
to avoid or to reduce its effects, and to develop design criteria for
new vessels. The panel is seeking anecdotal information, personal accounts,
research reports, and other relevant information. Contributors are invited
to contact the chairman, William N. France, at WFrance@HEALY.com.

PE Update
Results
of April's NAME exam will be announced later this summer, hopefully by mid July.
Result letters are generally sent by each state board by U.S. Postal Service
and are generally not given by telephone or e-mail. If you go to your state
board's website (http://www.ncees.org), you
should find notification of the results delivery.
For those preparing for
the April 21 2006 NAME exam, note that the filing deadlines are about six
months before the exam date, so NOW is the time to initiate
your application process.
