Explore advances in AI-driven engineering, shipbuilding, robotics, CAD automation, and digital twins, and what they mean for maritime manufacturing.

ASNE officials toured the Coast Guard Yard in Baltimore ahead of the 2026 polar operations symposium and learned about $500 million in planned upgrades.

Discover how AI is transforming CAD/CAM, digital engineering, and shipbuilding through intelligent design tools, automation, robotics, and digital twins.

A guide to the FE exam for marine engineers and naval architects — which discipline to take, what’s on it, how to prepare, and why the EIT credential matters.

Digital engineering in shipbuilding, explained: MBSE, SysML v2, digital twins, and virtual construction — plus the skills early-career naval engineers need now.

A guide to naval architecture degree programs in the U.S. — ABET accreditation, curriculum, internships, scholarships, and how to pick the right school.

Oshen tested six C-Star robotic sailboats as a networked acoustic sensor line at REPMUS26, feeding data into NATO C2 systems. The demo points toward low-cost distributed sensing for concepts like Atlantic Bastion, though C-Star has not been selected by the UK MoD.

Ship stability explained for early-career engineers: buoyancy, metacentric height, GZ curves, free surface effect, and the Navy criteria that keep ships upright.

AI is moving from engineering copilot to governed agent, operating across authoritative product data, design, production, inspection, and sustainment. For naval shipbuilding, the priority is building the digital thread and controls that let AI work safely across the full lifecycle.

What is a Navy Engineering Duty Officer? A guide to the EDO community — what these 1440 officers do, how to qualify, career progression, and why it's one of the Navy's most demanding paths.
