Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers
Summary
The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) is a global professional society that provides a forum for the advancement of the engineering profession as applied to the marine field. Although it particularly names the naval architecture and marine engineering specialties, the society includes all types of engineers and professionals amongst its members and is dedicated to advancing the art, science and practice of naval architecture and marine engineering.
The mission of the Society is to advance the art, science and practice of naval architecture, marine engineering, ocean engineering, and other marine-related professions through:
The global exchange of knowledge and ideas relative to the marine industry
Education in engineering as it relates to the marine industry
Encouraging and sponsoring research and development in naval architecture, marine engineering, ocean engineering and other marine fields.
The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers was organized in 1893, to advance the art, science, and practice of naval architecture, shipbuilding, and marine engineering.
In its earliest days, SNAME was incorporated and nurtured by men including William H. Webb, George E. Weed, Rear Admiral George W. Melville. Other men took the helm thereafter, including Edwin A. Stevens, David W. Taylor, Vice Admiral Land, Kenneth M Davidson, Dr. Alvin C. Purdy, and Blakely Smith.
SNAME offers various membership grades, including student, associate, full member and fellow status. Full members generally have earned a Bachelor of Science degree in naval architecture, marine engineering or hold a degree in engineering and have experience that is associated with ship design, construction or operation. However membership is open to professionals in related industries that comes from all backgrounds and experience.
Marine design is inherently a wide-ranging engineering design field and SNAME has members with wide experience ranging from electrical engineering, to weapons systems design, to racing yacht design, to deep ocean engineering, to human factors.
