AVEVA Sponsors Korean Universities' Ship Design Contest

AVEVA announced today that it is sponsoring The Society of Naval Architects of Korea (SNAK) 22nd Korean universities’ ship design contest.

Many teams from Korean universities will compete to design marine vessels and most of them will use AVEVA Marine™ software for this competition. Representatives from DSME have set the two assignment categories and the Ship and Offshore Design Research Committee, the affiliated committee of SNAK, will judge the assignments. The categories are:

The design of a Kamsarmax Bulk Carrier

A ‘freestyle’ assignment for the design of a Smart Ship.

‘We are delighted that AVEVA is sponsoring the SNAK ship design contest,’ said JeYang Ryu, Secretary of SNAK. ‘These awards encourage a new generation of ship designers and we thank AVEVA for its support in supplying the software for this event. By working together, we are making a considerable contribution to the future success of shipbuilding within Korea.’

‘As a technology and software company we feel committed to developing the pool of talented young engineers who will become tomorrow’s professionals,’ said Eunjoo Park, Senior Vice President, Korea & Japan, AVEVA. ‘As part of our Academic Initiative we are delighted to work with SNAK to nurture engineering students within shipbuilding and we look forward to seeing the submitted designs. This initiative demonstrates our continued support and investment in the Korean marine industry, which we believe will reap rewards for the industry and for the next generation of engineers for many years to come.’

The competition will begin at the end of September 2013 with assignments to be submitted in October and award winners announced in November.

The AVEVA Academic Initiative benefits educational institutions, their students, employers, and the global engineering community. AVEVA’s educational partners range from local vocational training centres to the world’s most prestigious postgraduate universities. Common to all is a dedication to developing engineering skills that can be applied directly in the process plant, power and marine industries.
