Electronic Media Competition 2019 Bonus Challenge

Last year, the Electronic Media Competition included a Bonus Challenge: each student section was asked to create a Video that contains basic information about SNAME in their univesity and demonstrates their activities. Apart from the bonus points, the winners of the competition got the chance to get featured on our microsite and social media. Student sections have really done an amazing job:

1st Place: Florida Institute of Technology

2nd Place: National Technical University of Athens

SNAME T&R Call For Students

The SNAME T&R Ad Hoc Panel AHP-22, Capsize Egress andSurvivability, wants YOUR help! We're looking for innovative students to join us in discussing and designing new ideas for successful egress in a capsizing ship. Imagine being inside a capsizing ship - the walls were not designed for walking on, andgetting to the high end of the ship during an emergency would pose significant challenge. How can ships be designed to make this easier? Students who help create innovative ideas to overcome this challenge will have the opportunity to present their work at SMC 2019!

Contact: Rick Ashcroft, T&R Committee Chair at rick1000@cox.net, or at +1 (760) 519-7829.

If you're interested in other ways to get involved with SNAME T&R, also contact Rick Ashcroft.
