  • 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.
  • SNAME’s Transactions, published annually since 1893, includes annual reports and papers presented at the Society’s Maritime Technology Conference & Expo and Ship Production Symposium, with discussions of the papers and authors’ closures.

United States Merchant Marine Academy
Launches Master of Marine Engineering Degree Program

The United States Merchant Marine Academy has launched its Master of Marine Engineering (MMarE) degree program. The MMarE program was established in recognition that higher education is vital to keeping marine engineers ready to face critical challenges, and that advanced education is an important factor in ensuring the competitiveness of their employers.

The program offers a unique opportunity for practicing marine engineering professionals to advance their technical education and careers while continuing in their current capacities. The MMarE course focuses on the application of advanced technical concepts and skills. It addresses the real-world problems and challenges facing designers, builders, and operators of vessels, marine structures, and components. Subject experts teach a 36-credit combination of core and elective courses in which the concepts and designs available to the world market are discussed and analyzed. Through the use of a combination of synchronous and asynchronous distance-learning technologies, the program is accessible to all students with access to a computer.

Applications for the program are now being accepted for the academic year that will begin September 2007. Additional information is available at the United States Merchant Marine Academy’s web site: www.usmma.edu/gradcourse.
