ASNE is the leading professional engineering society for engineers, scientists and allied professionals who conceive, design, develop, test, construct, outfit, operate and maintain complex naval and maritime ships, submarines and aircraft and their associated systems and subsystems.  ASNE also serves the educators who train the professionals, researchers who develop related technology, and students who are preparing for the profession.  Society activities provide support for the U.S. Navy; U.S. Coast Guard; U.S. Marine Corps; U.S. Merchant Marine and U.S. Army.

ASNE is the seventh oldest technical society in the United States.  It was founded in 1888 by a group of naval engineering pioneers, most of them officers of the U.S. Navy's Engineering Corps, who sought a unified approach to their profession in order to make the most of new advances in technology. The purposes of ASNE are:           

  • to advance the knowledge and practice of naval engineering in public and private applications and operations,
  • to enhance the professionalism and well-being of members, and
  • to promote naval engineering as a career field.

For 125 years, the Society’s objectives have been strengthened and preserved to meet the changing needs of a time-honored profession. Today ASNE conducts a variety of technical meetings and symposia, publishes the highly regarded Naval Engineers Journal and a number of other technical proceedings and publications, and fosters professional development and technical information exchange through technical committees, local section activities and cooperative efforts with government organizations and other professional societies.

The Society's annual meeting, ASNE Day, is typically held in February of each year in the Washington, DC, area. The meeting features major addresses by high level industry and government leaders and panel discussions by leading members of the profession.  It also includes presentation and discussion of technical papers on a variety of timely naval engineering topics, presentation of the Society's prestigious annual awards and a large exposition with government and industry exhibits covering the full spectrum of naval engineering technology. ASNE Day is highlighted by the Society’s annual Honors Gala, attended by hundreds of executives and senior managers from both government and industry.

Our website is designed to not only serve our members, but also to support scholars, students and others interested in the varied field of naval engineering.  We welcome your suggestions on ways we can improve your experience. 

Mr. Jeffrey E. Boisvert

Award: Solberg Award
Year: 2011
Recipient:
Mr. Jeffrey E. Boisvert
Reason:
For his significant contributions to naval engineering as set forth in the following:

As a Senior Research Scientist/Mechanical Engineer, Mr. Jeffrey Boisvert has led and conducted analytical investigations, mathematical modeling, and computer simulations for the dynamic response of fluid-loaded structures and the electro-structural-acoustic behavior of existing and conceptual sonar transducer arrays in support of the U.S. Navy. He has demonstrated tremendous ability to successfully lead and engage high-level experts from industry, academia, and government on multidisciplinary research projects.

Mr. Boisvert has led numerous research initiatives resulting in major breakthroughs in the modeling of complex sonar array configurations. His research has provided the modeling tools to enable the understanding and development of wideband arrays. He pioneered the mathematical approach of using prolate spheroidal and Mathieu wave functions to provide fidelity across the wide dynamic range of modeling parameters for various wideband singly- and doubly-curved array structures. His efforts resulted in significant expansion of the Navy’s capability in computational structural acoustic analysis, and have led to the design of improved, cost effective sonar arrays on mobile platforms. His dedication to innovation and his commitment to quality have led to remarkable new applications of advanced mathematical techniques. His research has facilitated unique leading-edge enhancements to Navy sonar and stealth capabilities with global applications.
