To date, 34 of the papers that will be presented at SMTC&E and SPS have been
evaluated and and accredited for continuing education credit, at 1 PDH each, as
indicated in the technical program schedule on the SNAME web site at: www.sname.org/AM2005/technical_program.cgi.
Evaluation of the remaining papers and presentations, including the Ship Production
Symposium sessions, is in progress, and it is expected that the majority will
receive accreditation. A PE attending the SMTC will therefore be able to earn
as many as eleven PDHs by attending technical sessions.

Water Management Convention.

PE Updates
Naval Architecture
and Marine Engineering
Survey of Professional Activities and Knowledge
We are asking
all SNAME Members to participate in a survey of professional Activities and
Knowledge for Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (NAME). The survey should
take roughly 30 minutes to complete, and does not need to be completed in one
sitting. Although the primary purpose of the survey is to update the specification
for the US Professional Engineering (PE) Exam in NAME, we are reaching out to
all SNAME members to help define our industry, which is truly global in scope.
Click here for
more information and link to survey.
Item Selection Meeting set for 14 September
at SNAME HQ – PDH credit available
It is time
to select the Items that will be on the 2006 NAME exam. Only currently licensed
members can participate. If you can participate in the meeting please email
Dave Chapman at dchapman@sname.org or
Walt Maclean, wmaclean@sname.org. For
those seeking to satisfy Continuing Professional Competency requirements, this
meeting will be worth about seven Professional Development Hours (PDH). Note
that on the same evening, the New York Metropolitan Section will be holding
its Past Chairman's Night and paper presentation, expected to be worth one more
PDH.

International Conference on
Security of Ships, Ports, and Coasts
The
Company of Master Mariners of Canada in association with other
professional organizations such as SNAME and the Nautical Institute, London,
is presenting an International Conference on “SECURITY OF SHIPS, PORTS,
COASTS”, in Halifax, Canada on September 22 and 23, 2005.
The International
Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS), applying to ships and port facilities
was developed by IMO, post 9/11. It has been in force just over one year. At
this Conference, the ISPS Code will be reviewed and assessed from differing
view-points. Some questions must be answered such as; is the Code a benefit
or a burden? Should it be amended? What is its impact on shipping, ports and
the flow of sea-borne trade?
