• The Journal of Ship Production has influenced the worldwide development of ship production engineering. Each issue contains a well-rounded selection of technical papers relevant to ship professionals.
• The Journal of Ship Research provides access to highly technical papers on applied research in hydrodynamics, propulsion, ship motions, structures, and vibrations. Many of these papers bear directly on disciplines outside ship and ocean science and engineering, such as civil and mechanical engineering, applied mathematics, and numerical analysis, making it a valuable tool to professionals in many fields.
• Marine Technology and SNAME News, our quarterly flagship journal, covers a broad spectrum of research on the latest technological breakthroughs, trends, concepts, and discoveries in the marine industry.

Member Benefit Update – SNAME Members’ Insurance Program
Featured Product: Group Term Life Insurance

Life Insurance is not something you buy once and forget about.
If you’re like most people, your life insurance needs change throughout your lifetime. Major life events such as getting married, buying a home, starting a family and planning for retirement are good times to reassess your life insurance needs, and if necessary, upgrade your coverage.

Many experts recommend that you have as much as ten times your annual income in life insurance protection. The Society of Naval Architects & Marine Engineers is proud to offer our members and their spouses, under age 70, the opportunity to apply for up to $660,000 of Group Term Life Insurance underwritten by New York Life Insurance Company. Term Life Insurance is designed to provide significant protection for your premium dollar.

You can’t predict the future, but you can plan for it.
Nothing can replace the loss of a loved one, but carefully chosen life insurance coverage can help ease the financial strain and provide the funds your spouse and dependents need for a secure, comfortable future.

The SNAME Insurance Program is happy to serve the insurance needs of SNAME members and their families nationwide. We look forward to helping you meet your insurance needs. Apply today!

We are upgrading our database to enhance direct on-line access to all papers and other publications, through a subject key-word index. We are starting with the Transactions and will soon have all of the Annual Meeting papers from 1893 until today available as pdfs. What must be done next is to categorize them by key words, a job that requires considerable breadth and depth of technical knowledge and is therefore best accomplished by member volunteers under the supervision of a new Key Word Control Committee, KWCC. The work will be done by the volunteers working remotely and electronically, with no need for face-to-face meetings or hard copy documents.

We envision that once the KWCC is established, the committee will be contacted by members who will volunteer to take responsibility for a volume of Transactions, who will then download the established list of key words, and carefully assign one or, more likely, several key words to each paper. The selected key words will be reviewed by the KWCC to ensure uniformity, and then entered into the database. The goal is to designate key words for all 114 volumes of the Transactions by December 2007.

Service on this committee is an opportunity for experienced members to share their expertise and help to define this important technical resource. If you would like to serve on or chair the KWCC please contact Alan Rowen at arowen@sname.org.

2007-2008 National Engineering Design Challenge

Registration Opens September 5th!

The National Engineering Design Challenge (NEDC) is a competition in which teams of students learn and apply engineering skills while making a difference in the lives of persons with disabilities. Through this cross curricular experience, students apply problem solving, math, science, research, writing, presentation and drafting/design skills by creating an engineered assistive technology device for persons with disabilities.

Five select teams will be awarded all-expense paid trips to Washington, DC to present their designs and compete for prizes at the annual NEDC Finals Competition on February 15-16, 2008.

The team selected as the best overall design will win $3,000 for their school’s sponsoring department, plus a trip to 2008 NISH National Training and Achievement Conference - May 4-6, 2008 – in Los Angeles, CA.

Two additional winning teams will be awarded $1,500 for their school’s sponsoring department.
