Webb Institute, the oldestschool devoted to naval architecture and marine

engineeringintheUnitedStates, islocated in Glen Cove on the pictur-esque north shore of Long Island,about thirty miles from New York City.WebbInstituteseekstoattractstudents who are interested in the design and construction of ships of all types and in their motive power. The aim of Webb is to educate its students generally, while simultane-ously providing professional com-petence in naval architecture and marine engineering. To this end the curriculum is designed to be of such depth and quality that all gradu-ates will be fully prepared to enter directly the practice of their profes-sion or to go forward into graduate workandresearch.Specialeffort ismade to develop the student’s ca-pability for independent study and original thought as well as to foster those work habits that contribute

toprofessionalexcel-lence. Studentswhosuccessfully complete

all of the courses prescribed in the regular four-year undergraduate curriculum and the required prac-tical work are awarded the degree ofBachelorofScienceinNavalAr-chitectureandMarineEngineering. The Institute is fully accredited.The school maintains close contact with the marine industry and assists graduates in their placement to the full extent of resources. Its gradu-ates have been in great demand, not only in maritime and marine enterprises but also in many related industries and in the field of educa-tion.TheInstitute’sgraduateplace-ment rate is 100 percent annually. GraduatesofWebbInstituteareverysuccessful in entering the graduate schools of their choice, and many continue on to the doctoral level. All of the undergraduate students have four-year, renewable, full-tu-ition scholarships from Webb; they

are selected by rigor-ous standards and the academic pace is fast. To understand the rea-sonforexistenceofthisvery unusual college one must know some-thing about the back-ground of its founder, William H. Webb, andconditions existing inthe maritime industry at the time he established and endowed “Webb’s Academy.” William Henry Webb was theforemost shipbuilder of New York City dur-ing the period when a majority of the mostimportant shipyards of

the United States were located ontheManhattanandBrooklynbanksof the East River. Mr. Webb wasborn in 1816 and learned the art of shipbuilding from his father, IsaacWebb, whose shipyard he eventu-ally took over upon the latter’s death in 1840. From then until 1869 Wil-liam Webb contracted for, designed, and supervised the construction of one hundred and thirty-five wooden vessels of all types, includ-ing fishing schooners; ferry boats; fast sailing packets; clipper ships; large Atlantic, Pacific and coast-wise steamships; as well as iron-clad warships for European navies. During this 29-year period, Mr.Webb constructed both a larger number and a greater tonnage of vessels than any other American shipbuilder of the era. He was ac-tive in the formation of a number of steamship lines, both before and after his retirement as a shipbuilder. With the replacement of wooden ships by iron ones, largely occur-ring in the 1870s and the continued developments in size, speed, power, and complexity of steamships, itbecame evident that a more formal and detailed education would be re-quired for naval architects and ma-rine engineers than thatofferedbythe apprenticeship systems under whichMr.Webbandhiscontempo-raries had learned their profession.

With this in mind, Mr. Webb de-cided to create a school to train future designers of ships and ma-rine machinery. The State of NewYork granted a Charter to Webb’s AcademyandHomeforShipbuild-ers on April 2, 1889. Instructionwas started in 1894 with a fac-ulty of three, and the first class of eight men graduated in 1897.

The length of the course was in-creased from three to four years in1909. In1933authoritywasob-tained from the University of the StateofNewYorktoawardaBach-elorofSciencedegree.ThepresentnameofWebbInstitutewasadoptedin 1994. Although radical change has occurred in curriculum content since the program’s inception, the basic educational goals have per-sisted: educating young men and women generally, while simultane-ously training them professionally as naval architects, with an included competence in marine engineering.

Until his death in 1899,Mr.Webb assumed all the op-erating expenses of the

Academy. In addition, properties,mostly in the form of real estate, were transferred to it. Further en-dowment was provided under the termsofMr.Webb’swill.Underthemanagement of the original Board of Trustees and their successors, this endowment has been extensivelyincreased. The endowment income, together with gifts from founda-tions, corporations, alumni and other individuals, largely defrays current operating costs. Despite continuous increases in faculty, fa-cilities, and their accompanying expenditures, the Institute still of-fers a full-tuition scholarship educa-tion to its undergraduate students. One of the unique features of the Webb Institute educational systemis the winter work term. Each year the school closes in late December and does not reopen until the end of the winter work period in early March.Duringthisperiodbetweenacademic semesters, each student is required to engage in eight weeks of practical work in a shipyard, aboard ship in the engine room, in a design

office or in other course-related in-dustries. The practical work period provides a break in the academic routine.Itgivesthestudentsanop-portunity to relate their classroom and laboratory work to actual com-mercial practice. It solidifies thatwhich has been learned and opens up new engineering vistas for the future. In addition, each studentis paid the going rate by the em-ployer, and the wages received are normally more than sufficient to cover travel and subsistence costs while away from the Webb campus. ThecampusofWebbInstitutecov-ers 26 acres, fronting directly on Long Island Sound. The propertywas once the estate of Herbert L.Pratt,thesonofoneofthefoundersof the StandardOilCompany, andthere is a magnificent view across the Sound to Westchester and theConnecticut shore. The campus

is within the limits of the city of Glen Cove. The center of the city is about a mile and a half from Webb.

The educational and support-ive facilities of Webb Insti-tutearehousedinsixbuild-

ings. In addition to the academicbuildings, the campus includes a private beach, boathouse, tennis courts, a gymnasium, and playing fields.Themainbuilding,StevensonTaylorHall,wasoriginallytheresi-denceofthePrattfamilyandisnowthe hub of Webb’s academic and so-cial activity. It contains all the un-dergraduate classrooms, faculty and administrative offices, the Livings-ton Library, dormitory rooms, pub-lic rooms and the dining hall.

All cases of serious or prolonged illness must be cared for in a hospital or elsewhere, at theexpenseofthestudentorstudent’sfamily. Additional counseling services are available locally.

HONOR SYSTEM

Webb students constitute a unique community. Satisfying rigorous

admission requirements, motivated by similarities in interest, and responsive to the traditions of the Institute, the

students conduct themselves in a manner that reflects the ideals of American citizenship and the standards of professional engineering. The student body is largely self-governing. Through the StudentOrganizationandtheStudentCourt,thestudents of Webb help in determining the policies and implementing the standards that govern their conduct in the classroom, in the dormitory, on the athletic field, and in all aspects and relationships of college life.

The Honor Council promulgates,administers, and enforces the honor code, which states: “Every student is on his honor to so conduct himself as to attain the objectivesof the Student Organization andthe college: developing graduates of professional ability who possess a sense of responsibility and leadership. ParamounttothequalityofstudentlifeundertheHonorCodearerespectandcourtesyforallothers.Studentsshouldrespect the privacy and rights of others atalltimes.Itiswiththisinmindthateach student has willingly pledged to live by the rules of this constitution.”

Underg raduate students are required to live on campus and board in the college dining facilitites.

In carrying out this objective, everystudent has a responsibility for himself or herself and for every other student. Shouldherealizethathehasviolatedtheself-imposed code of the student body, theindividualshouldexplainwillinglytotheHonorCouncilChairpersonthecircumstances of the act. Also the stu-dent must feel responsible for the acts of his fellows. That is, he should see that the indiscretions of his associates are rectified in a fair and open way. This obligation should always be exercisedin a quiet and unostentatious manner. Thisobjective isbest accomplishedbyexplainingtotheaccusedthegrievanceand asking him to report himself to the HonorCouncil Chairperson.The stu-dent shoulddifferentiatebetweenvio-lations due to ignorance, which should be handled with the greatest of tact, and those due to carelessness or willful in-tent. In the latter case, Student Courtaction is essential.

Every Webb student should regard the school as his or her home and be guided accordingly.Heshouldmakethegreat-estefforttopreserveallschoolpropertyagainst damage and should report im-mediately any damage that occurs or any conditions that may cause damage.

Every student should quickly familiar-ize himself with all rules of safety and the rules and notices having to do with the administration of the school. The student should speak to the StudentOrganization President or the HonorCouncil Chairperson concerning any activities of which he is uncertain.

Each student entering Webb is given indoctrinationintheHonorCodeandis required to pledge, in writing, to sup-port the Honor System.

GENERAL

Admission to the Institute iscompetitive and is based upon an examination of the appli-

cant’s entire record of scholastic and personal characteristics and perfor-mance. College Board SAT and SATII tests are required. Due to the spe-cialized nature of the studies and the rate of coverage of course materials, all undergraduate students enter in the freshman year. No course credit is given as a result of advanced placement examinations or courses taken else-where. In selecting candidates for ad-mission, the requirements must, of ne-cessity, be exacting. Selection ismadewithout regard to race, creed, or sex.

Offersofadmissionarebasedonanex-amination of all available information concerning the applicant’s abilities, atti-tudes, motivation, and previous perfor-mance, both scholastic and extracur-ricular. A fine secondary school record, high scores on the required College Board and/or ACT tests, and frank evaluation from persons who know the candidate well are of prime importance. TheInstituterequiresapersonalinter-view with the applicant as a prerequi-sitetoanofferofadmission.Normallystudents are invited to the campus for the interview during which time they are expected to do an overnight stayand sit in on classes for the day. Each candidatewillmeetwithboththePres-ident and at least one other member of the admissions committee. During the visit students will be asked to write an essay to provide the college with an ad-ditional writing sample to be included with their application. It is the policy of the Institute, as ap-proved by the Board, to instill in the studentsofWebbInstitutethebenevo-lent spirit of its founder William H.Webb and to help ensure a full aca-demic scholarship Webb education for future students through significant vol-

untary alumni support. Thus, in accept-inganofferofadmission,itisassumedthat the student accepts the moral com-mitment to subscribe to that policy. ThesizeofWebbInstitutehasremainedsmall.The exact number of freshmenadmitted depends upon the facilities available. No more students are admit-ted than can be guaranteed a high qual-ity education, commensurate with their demonstrated intelligence and ability. Despite the limited number of students entering each year, the freshman class is made up of students from all over the UnitedStates,representingpublic,pri-vate, and parochial educational train-ing. EARLY DECISIONThe Institutewill consider candidates,whowishtomakeWebbInstitutetheirfirst choice, under an early decision plan. Applicants wishing to be consid-ered under this plan must have taken all required College Board tests by the October test date of their senior year in highschoolandmusthaveanexcellentacademic record.

All required application forms, includ-ing a transcript indicating rank in class,

must be on file by October 15 of the senioryear.Iftheadmissionscommit-tee agrees to early consideration, the applicantwill be expected to come tothe campus for the final interview be-fore the middle of December. All early decision candidates will be notified by December 15 whether they have been accepted. Accepted candidates will be expected to withdraw all applica-tions to other colleges and to provide a non-refundable deposit to secure their position in the incoming class. Any ap-plicant not accepted under the early de-cision plan will be considered, without bias, for admission during the regular process beginning inMarch, unless afinalrejectionisreceivedinDecember.

A room deposit of $150 will be re-quired for all entering students. The charge is renewable, to the original amount, at the beginning of each semester. This deposit less charges for breakage or damage, will be re-turned upon graduation or disen-rollment.

No records of any kind will be re-leased to any student or third party unless the student’s financial obliga-tionstotheInstituteand/ortheStu-dent Organization are fully satisfied. BOOkS, LAPTOPS, AND SUPPLIESAll students are expected to buytheir own textbooks and miscel-laneous academic supplies, which are available through the StudentBookstore. These expenses areabout $1,080 for the freshman year. In addition, students will providetheir own drafting equipment and calculators with logarithmic, power, and trigonometric functions. Pro-grammable calculators are recom-mended. Students will purchasedrafting equipment for their use at WebbInstitute.

All students are required to purchase laptop computers through Webb Institute. TheCampusComputingDepartment will order a state-of-the-art laptop for each student, and they will be available to students during Orientation. Students willalso purchase software programs for theiruseatWebbInstitute.Laptopsand software can be paid out over eight semesters. OTHER EXPENSESIn addition to personal clothingand sporting equipment, students should bring sheets, towels, blan-

kets and pillows for their rooms. They will need money to take care of personal laundry, transportation to and from Glen Cove, as well as all othertravelingexpensesandenter-tainment. TheStudentOrganization,inorderto carry out its activities, requires a charge of $100 upon enrollment, of which $50 will be returned to the student upon graduation or transfer from Webb.

Students need their own hard hat,safety goggles, and steel-toed work shoes that are routinely required for ship and shipyard visits made throughout the Webb program.

Medicalexpenses,otherthanthoseof a minor nature, are not covered bytheInstitute.Counselingservicesare available on campus. In addi-tion, referrals can be made to local professionals or agencies. It is rec-ommended that the student be cov-ered by insurance for psychological services and against accident, seri-ous illness, or hospitalization. Studentswhoarenotmembersofaprofessional engineering society at whose functions attendance is re-quiredduringthejuniorandsenioryears will be required by the society to pay the normal non-member fee for registration.

FEDERAL DIRECT LOAN PROGRAM

Federal Direct Subsidized Loan Subsidizedloansareawardedonthebasis of financial need. You will not be charged any interest before you begin repayment or during autho-rized periods of deferment because the federal government “subsidizes” the interest during these periods. Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan Unsubsidized loans are not based on financial need. You will be charged interest from the time the loan is disbursed until it is repaid in full.

Federal Parent PLUS Loan (for undergraduate dependent child) - Ifyouhaveadependent incollege,you may be eligible for college loans through the Federal Parent PLUSProgram(PLUS). Parentscanbor-row up to the student’s cost of at-tendance, minus any other financial aid. These loans are based on credit history, and there is no limit on the aggregate amount.

Alternative Loans - These loans are available to students or parents to help meet the cost of education. They are based on credit history. Maximum amount of eligibility isbased on the cost of education mi-nus other financial aid. Interestrates and borrower benefits vary by lender.WebbInstituterecommendsthat you review borrowing options through the federal aid programs first and then evaluate the alterna-tive loan options available

MATHEMATICSProfessors Goloubeva and Williams

Mathematics is an analytical tool used in all sci-ence and engineering courses. At the same time, by its very nature, mathematics is an

abstract science. Mathematics at Webb is presentedwith the focus on applied mathematics, a branch of mathematics which is drawing on the physical world for its motivation, developing abstract concepts to re-fine the physical ideas, and finally applying those ab-stractions to mathematical modeling and better un-derstandingof thephenomenaofnature.ManyWebbstudents go on to graduate work involving higher mathematics,and it isastrongobjectiveof themath-ematics program to prepare them well for this work.

NAVAL ARCHITECTUREProfessors Neilson, Gallagher, Onas, Royce, and Werner

The fundamental laws of buoyancy, stability, and strength are fully considered, as these have uni-versal application to all kinds of ships and floating

structures. The study of naval architecture is begun in the freshman year in order to familiarize the student as early as possible with ship and shipbuilding terms, technical facets of ship analysis and design, shipyard arrangements, andgeneralmethodsofshipconstruction.Majorsub-jects coveredarehydrostatics, stability, ship structure,shipdynamics,resistance,andpropulsion.Knowledgegained is subsequently applied in the design courses. Owing to the wide variety of types and sizes of ships in service at the present time, it is inevitable that a cer-tain amount of specialization is necessary for their de-sign and construction. It is the aim of the courses tocover the fundamentals of naval architecture in the time available, so that the specialized study of any one of a number of particular types or classes of ships may be left to the individual who, after graduation, is especially concerned with them.

FRESHMAN YEAR

INTRODUCTION TO NAVAL ARCHITECTURE (NA I)This course presents an overall introduction to the ma-rine industry. The terminology and the technologies of naval architecture are presented. Graphic techniques, which form the basis for the naval architect’s under-standing of ship form and lines drawing, are intro-duced. The broad spectrum of ship types – from sail-ing yachts and tugs to mammoth tankers and aircraft carriers, from submarines to air cushion vehicles – are

described. Basic principles of hull structure are intro-duced, and from this preliminary material a consider-ation of how to build ships is presented. The final part of the course is a direct preparation for the first winter work period. Two hours of lecture and two hours of lab per week in the first semester.

SOPHOMORE YEAR

SHIP STATICS (NAII)This introductory course in hydrostatics of ships covers buoyancy, weights, metacenters, and stability at small and large angles of heel and trim.

The seakeeping part starts with wave statistics. The wave environment is described mathematically first using the regular wave theory and then is expanded toa stochasticorprobabilisticdescription of the seaway using wave spectrums and scatter diagrams. The ship equations of motion are de-velopedforseakeeping,andcalculationofthewaveex-citation force, added mass and radiation damping are introduced, based on strip theory and velocity poten-tial formulation. The response of a ship to ocean waves is treated, first to a single wave train and then to a wave spectrum using linear superposition principles.

Calculations are compared to scale model test results. Theshipresponseinheadseasisinvestigatedexperi-mentally using a Series 60 model in the RobinsonModelBasinandcomparedwithpublished seakeep-ingtestresults.ComputationalFluidDynamics(CFD)usingtheRankine-PanelMethodisintroducedasthenumerical tool to investigate the ship response in time domain and analyzed in the frequency domain. The numerical test results are validated against the sea-keeping lab testdata andpublished test results. Sea-keeping criteria are discussed, including critical vessel responses such as roll, deck wetness, slamming, and impact loads. The equations of motion for maneuvering are devel-oped in the second part of the course. Analytical and experimental methods of determining maneuveringcoefficients are presented. Controls-fixed stability isdiscussed in detail and calculation of stability indexis carried-out. The theory of ship turning is presented with calculation of turning parameters, emphasizing the limitation of linear theory.

SENIOR SEMINARTheSeniorSeminar,conductedduringthefinalsemes-ter, is designed to introduce the seniors to the human factors, business considerations, management tech-niques,andanalyticalconceptstheymayexpecttoen-counter after graduation. Seminar leaders are drawnfrom theWebb staff and from business and industry.Subjectsrangefromlabor-managementrelationstosys-tems engineering. Content will vary from year to year dependent both on student interests and on develop-ments in the area covered.

SPECIAL TOPICSThese three-credit courses represent the two opportuni-ties for electives at Webb. The first is a humanities or social science course chosen by the students from a list of suggestions provided by the Dean and augmented by thestudentsthemselves.Ifsufficientinterestinatopicexists,distinguishedmembersof academia and/or in-dustry are sought to teach the courses. These courses are intended to broaden the students’ view of the world and are offered during the fall semester of the junioryear, three class hours per week. The second course is a technical elective again chosen by the students from a list provided by the Dean and augmented with their suggestions. This course provides an opportunity for Webb to engage distinguished visit-ing faculty to share theirparticular expertiseand realworldexperiencewithinterestedstudents(andfaculty). These courses provide a way to either sharpen the focus ofastudent’sprogramortoexpandthescopeofhis/herundergraduateexperience.Thiscourseisofferedthreeclass hours per week in the final semester of the Webb academic program.

PRACTICAL WORk (aka WINTER WORk)The practical work period between the first and second semesters of each of the four years is an integral part of the academic program. These periods of eight weeks duration give the student the opportunity to see the practical side of classroom studies, to see and handle the hardware of the profession; to apply the theory learned in class; to learn how to work and cooperate with others; and to develop a practical viewpoint that will assist in development and design later on. TheInstitutewill assist in securingpositionswithad-vice to the students and the establishment of liaison with various companies. The sequence usually consists

of working as a helper mechanic in a shipyard the first year; as a cadet/observer in the engine room of a ship the second year; and in a professional capacity as an en-gineer in the industry the third and fourth years. The students arepaidat thegoing rateof their jobs, suffi-cient to support themselves while away from school. Housing canusuallybe located through the companyemployment departments.

Each student is required to present a technical report on the practical work undertaken during each of the four winter intersessional periods. The immediate supervi-sor is also invited to comment on the student’s perfor-mance.Additionally,aSophomoreSeaTermProjectisrequired following the work term spent aboard ship.

ENGINEERING VISITSVisits of inspection are made by individual classes to nearby shipbuilding, dry docking and repair yards, other engineering plants, and to vessels in the vicinity. These visits are arranged through the courtesy of the managing officials of the companies.

Inordertodeveloptheirpowersofobservationandtoimprove their ability to write technical reports, the stu-dents are required to submit brief reports of their obser-vations immediately after each visit.
