New Welding Engineering Course Announced in Conjunction with FMMS 2018
Created by mccue@navalengineers.org on 6/4/2018 8:40:19 AM

ASNE is pleased to announce a FOURTH professional development course offering in conjunction with this September's Fleet Maintenance and Modernization Symposium. The newest course, "Fundamentals of Welding Engineering" will be taught by Dr. Daniel Foster on September 20 at the Virginia Beach Convention Center. Properly engineering welds is an interdisciplinary process that must incorporate many different engineering disciplines. Knowledge of chemistry, material science, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, kinetics, heat transfer, and mechanics, along with their interaction, are all critical in order to have a complete understanding of the materials joining process. This knowledge then must be integrated into welding design, materials selection, welding processing, and testing plans to ensure the implemented welds perform to their desired specification. Welding engineering is often underutilized during ship construction, leading to inefficiencies and production errors. Increased utilization of welding engineering can increase productivity, reduce bottle necks, and prevent the welding failures that drive up shipbuilding costs.

Marine Systems I

  • June 18, 2018
  • FHI 360 Conference Center, held in conjunction with Technology, Systems and Ships 2018
  • Marine Systems I will provide an introductory overview of shipboard propulsion systems. Participants will examine current shipboard propulsion systems (prime movers and propulsors) for Naval and Commercial applications; in addition to discussing emerging trends in these systems.

Electrical Power and Power Electronics Basics for Ship Propulsion
  • July 17, 2018
  • Hampton Inn Baltimore/Glen Burnie, held in conjunction with the 2018 Multi-Agency Craft Conference and the Promoting Electric Propulsion for Small Craft program
  • The new environmental regulations require ships near major ports around the world turn off dirty fuel engines and use clean energy. This includes small and big ships, tugboats, and ferries between two cities. One option is fuel cells using stored hydrogen. Another option for small boats is batteries charged by solar power. These clean power options require electric propulsion. Dive in with this 8-hour short course!

International Naval Design Standards: A 4-hour Introductory Course
  • September 17, 2018
  • Virginia Beach Convention Center, held in conjunction with the Fleet Maintenance and Modernization Symposium 2018
  • As budgets have become more and more restrictive, and navies worldwide rely more and more on commercial practices and standards for the core of their warship designs, there has been a continuing trend away from traditional naval design approaches, and towards a baseline centered in common international requirements. Factors such as acquisition reform initiatives of the 1990’s, and a decreased emphasis on national military design documents, have navies worldwide relying on a more global approach to design and acquisition through instruments and organizations such as ASTM F25 Committee, ISO TC8, NATO’s standard ANEP 77, and Classification Society Rules and Guides such as the ABS Rules for Building and Classing High Speed Naval Craft (HSNC) and International Naval Ship Guide. This course will provide a broad overview to two ABS rule sets and the NATO standard.

Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Business Management: Understanding the Forces that Shape the Industry
  • September 17, 2018
  • Virginia Beach Convention Center, held in conjunction with the Fleet Maintenance and Modernization Symposium 2018
  • The Shipbuilding & Ship Repair Industry are amongst the most highly capitalized industries in the world, yet they have relatively low profit margins and employment instability challenges. This course surveys the forces and factors external to a shipbuilding or ship repair company that create this business environment: history, politics, macro-economics, micro-economics, financial structure, systematic risk and regulations. This course also identifies the six (6) reasons that (taken collectively) drive the industry dynamics, and make shipbuilding and ship repair uniquely challenged amongst all major world industries.

Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Business Management: Understanding Shipyard Business Operations
  • September 20, 2018
  • Virginia Beach Convention Center, held in conjunction with the Fleet Maintenance and Modernization Symposium 2018
  • The Shipbuilding & Ship Repair Industry are amongst the most highly capitalized industries in the world, yet they have relatively low profit margins and employment instability challenges. This course surveys the forces, factors and risk considerations internal to a specific shipbuilding or ship repair company that create this business environment: management methods, program control considerations, cross-functional integration. This course introduces the concept of operational process variation (OPV) ©, and highlights its erosive effect on the shipbuilding and ship repair process. This course applies OPV to the ship acquisition and repair process, closely focusing on the importance of owner/customer activity in shaping successful outcomes.
