UBC SNAME Student Section

UBC SNAME Student Section

The UBC SNAME Student Section is committed to fostering the professional development and growth of its members. The Student Section holds monthly meetings in which members discuss advancements in shipbuilding and ship design projects within the school. These meetings also include regular guest lectures from local professionals. Members also take part in monthly networking events, usually held by the regional SNAME section, which allow student members to network with local industry professionals. Industry tours are also arranged in which students are shown various aspects of the local maritime design industry.

 

UBC Student Section Overview

This year, the student section has doubled in size, and we have a very active and enthusiastic group of students. Our executive team is very passionate about organizing and attending technical events that are valuable for the professional development of SNAME members.

In the past year the chapter has made our presence known within the Pacific North West, touring the Vancouver Rolls Royce Propulsion division, the Seaspan and Zodiac shipyards, as well as hosting a Rolls Royce Marine Propulsion presentation for all UBC students.

The excitement for the UBC student section is only starting. This coming November we will be sending 13 section members to the World Maritime Conference in Providence, Rhode Island. Also we look forward to hosting guest lectures from Fairbanks Morse Engines to discuss the selection process of marine engines, VARD and to partnering with many more industry stalwarts to take a plunge into the depths of their vast oceans of knowledge.  The news doesn’t end there for UBC, our student teams UBC SailBot and SUBC have been hard at work.
