Welcome to the Northern California Section representing The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers in Northern California and Western Nevada.
We strive to provide presentations of interest to our members and guests. Meetings are monthly from September until late Spring jointly with ASNE and occasionally with the Port Engineers at locations varying from San Francisco and Oakland to Vallejo or Sunnyvale. The usual meeting format includes a social hour, dinner (sometimes lunch), presentation and Q&A period. Several meetings each season are field trips to industry landmarks. Our meetings are usually the Second Wednesday of the month unless noted.
We are always in need of volunteers. If you wish to volunteer, please contact one of the officers. If you receive your announcements by mail, please let us know your email address. This will speed up notification and save on section mailing costs.
We have added a "Links" page for other maritime societies and SNAME Student Sections in the Bay area via the link in the left column.
Next Scheduled Meeting
For information on our next local Section meeting of the year, see the "Meetings" page for details or email any of the contacts.
John Wehausen Memorial Graduate Scholarship - Fund Drive Emeritus Professor John V. Wehausen of UC Berkeley passed away October 6, 2005. John Wehausen and his students have been long-time supporters of the marine activities in the nation and in Northern California. As a tribute to John, friends and colleagues have started a fund-raising effort to establish a John Wehausen Memorial scholarship at Berkeley for graduate students studying in John's area: marine hydrodynamics. Donations to this fund are tax-deductible and can be made by check or secured site credit card gift. Information and U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein's honoring him in the Congressional Record can be found at WehausenW5887a.pdf
