Call for Discussions ~
All of
the SNAME and Ship Production Symposium papers and SPS presentations for the
annual meeting, the SNAME Maritime Technology Conference and Ship Production
Symposium, are now available for review and discussion - click
here.
Discussers are asked to follow the instructions located at www.sname.org/discussers.htm.
Formal discussion should be submitted expeditiously to facilitate consideration
by the authors. Papers and presentations for the T&R Sessions and the
Student Papers Sessions will be posted as they become available.
61 of
the SNAME and SPS papers and presentations have been evaluated and accredited
for continuing education credit, at 1 PDH each, as indicated in the technical
program schedule. A PE attending the SMTC will therefore be able to earn
as many as eleven PDHs by attending technical sessions.

Student Section Report
Memorial
University of Newfoundland
The MUN
Student Section of SNAME begins each academic semester with a section meeting,
typically including a presentation by a guest speaker, followed by a pizza lunch
or refreshment. After returning from their work terms, students are eager to
get together and this forum provides an excellent opportunity for our Ocean
and Naval Architectural Engineering students to exchange information about their
own work experiences, employers and other relevant information to the development
of their careers...read

JETS Pre-Engineering Times
September 2005 Issue
Junior Engineering
Technical Society (JETS), focuses on opening the world of engineering to junior
high and high school students, parents and educators. JETS provides information
about engineering careers as well as programs and resources that illustrate
real-life teamwork and problem-solving skills. At the beginning of this year
SNAME became a participating member of JETS.

Alert! Human Engineering Bulletin
Issue No
9 of the International Maritime Human Element
Bulletin Alert! focuses upon the efficiency and reliability
of the seafarer, the human “glue” which binds the ship and its systems
into an efficient, safe and productive unit. The bulletin, published by The
Nautical Institute and sponsored by Lloyd’s Register EMEA points out that
the seafarer is just as susceptible to failure and breakdown as the ship and
equipment, if he or she is not protected by standards and codes, or if the tolerances
have been set too fine because of poor working and living conditions. Read

SNAME
Scholarships
Since
1933, the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers has awarded
many scholarships for both graduate and undergraduate study. This is to
encourage men and women to pursue studies in the naval architectural and
marine engineering or closely related fields. United States and Canadian
citizens as well as qualified foreign members of the society are eligible
for consideration. Read

2006
Scholarship Fund Appeal
While
all are being asked to consider the plight of the Katrina and Rita hurricane
victims and to make donations to charitable organizations serving their
needs, including the displaced SNAME student members at UNO, it is also important to remember
that SNAME has an annual scholarship program that needs support as well.
The costs of higher education continue to rise at double digit rates while
the SNAME funding for scholarships has remained nearly constant over the
recent years. Last year, a scholarship fund raising effort was initiated
and will be continued this and coming years. The goal is to essentially
double the SNAME Scholarship funds available for the program over the
next five years.
When the SNAME Dues Bill comes in your mail (or email), please note the
section in the lower portion set aside for making donations. There are
several activities that need support, including the Scholarship Funds.
It should be noted that the undergraduate scholarship program supports
scholarship awards in 14 U.S. and Canadian schools while the graduate
scholarship program supports U.S., Canadian and Foreign applicants wishing
to study in the U.S. or Canadian schools as well as U.S. and Canadian
applicants wishing to study in recognized foreign institutions. A $50.00
contribution to the Scholarship Program from each member of the Society
would go a long way toward meeting the current goal, and those wishing
to make a larger contribution, such as in a bequest, could make a lasting
contribution to raising qualifications of young professionals entering
our field.
Please be generous!

PE Update
2006 PERC Offering
The 2006 P.E. Review Course
(PERC) for those preparing to take the April 21, 2006 Naval Architecture and
Marine Engineering P.E. exam is scheduled to start on Monday, January 9, 2006
and is expected to be completed on Wednesday, March 29, three weeks before
the exam date. Candidates who want to start the course early so that they
have more study time may register for the 2005 course, which is still available
on-line, but at this time without any online instructor sessions. Then, when
the 2006 course starts, they can extend their registration to the 2006 course
at no extra cost, continuing their study but at that point with the online
instructor sessions. Taking the course this way has been successful for several
registrants in the past couple of years and seems the best approach for those
needing the extra study time.
The cost for the course
is still $500 for SNAME members and $650 for non-members. To sign up for the
course contact Rich Mouk at Society Headquarters: rmouk@sname.org
or 201 798-4800, X 3044.
The 2005 NAME Exam pass
rate for first-time takers was 93%, the same as in 2004, so we believe that
the course has been very effective.
For candidates in California
and Oregon, application should be made to Washington State so they can take
the exam in Seattle. This has also been a successful approach for many in
the past. Filing deadlines in many states are coming up soon, so use the www.ncees.org
site to obtain contact information and qualification requirements, deadlines,
and restrictions.
For further information,
email Walter Maclean or David
Chapman. We will try to respond promptly.
