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.

Frequently Asked Questions

FLEET is an engineering video game at its core. We have developed curricula that teach the scientific forces and engineering process using collaborative, hands-on activities. And, FLEET is a growing community of users sharing experiences and competing for high scores.

 

FLEET can be downloaded from fleetengineering.org (click "Download FLEET") or may have been provided to you as an executable. Download requires an account with the American Society of Naval Engineers.

  • https://fleet-engineering.org/parse

FLEET requires access to the FLEET server. Your boat is stored on the FLEET server, so this requirement allows students to access their boats from any computer. If you encounter this error, then chances are your IT department will need to allow access to the FLEET server. You can check if this is the error by opening a browser and pasting "https://fleet-engineering.org/parse", then hit enter. You should see "{"error":"unauthorized"}". If you see something else, then you will need to ask your IT help to whitelist the domain and server address:

  • https://fleet-engineering.org/parse

Most likely this error is another issue with a local firewall. You can check if this is the error by opening a browser and pasting "https://fleet-engineering.org/parse", then hit enter. You should see "{"error":"unauthorized"}". If you see something else, then you will need to ask your IT help to whitelist the domain and server address:

  • https://fleet-engineering.org/parse

Your account for the game is different than the account you used to download the game. It will automatically be created within 24-48 hours of you downloading the game. Look for an email from noreply@navatekfleet.com with information about your new username and a confirmation link. Launch the game and use the link to set a custom password (this will be done through your email too).

Remember, usernames and passwords are case sensitive.

Yes! We have a users' forum that has discussion boards for technical issues, gaming questions, and places to show off your engineering successes. The Forum is available on the left toolbar of each page. It is password protected for security reasons, so you will need to log into navalengineers.org first.

For additional technical support, please email navatekstem@gmail.com.

For questions about non-technical issues, please email fleet@navalengineers.org.

Confused on who to email? Email both accounts above, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

How do I create multiple accounts for my students?

Use this form to list all the accounts you need, and then please email fleet@navalengineers.org. Every FLEET account is tied to an email address, so you will need a unique email address for each account. Most schools we work with have students work in teams, so they create accounts for FLEET like “fleet1@school.org” or “school1@gmail.com”.  If this requirement is impossible for you, please email us to discuss your situation.
