... sponsors basic and applied research and technology transfer in naval architecture, marine engineering, and related fields. This di vision supports research in solid mechanics, structural acoustics, structural dynamics, computational mechanics, control of dynamic systems, dynamics of electric power networks, and control of acoustic and nonacoustic signa tures.

... superiority the Navy must maintain the following: · A robust and focused research community to advance the state of the art in critical technologies, · An adequate pipeline of new scientists and engineers in naval engi neering disciplines, and · The ability to implement advanced technology products needed by operational forces to enhance fleet performance. ONR has been concerned about the eroding base of creative ship de signers and the limitations of the naval engineering research community for some time.

... also calls for ONR to take the following actions: · "Develop University/Industry/Laboratory Consortia for S&T in naval engineering; and · Encourage Industry/University partnership for career development of future naval engineers." The Navy's primary goals for this initiative are to maintain and develop human capital in naval engineering and to stimulate innovation in new ship designs in order to meet future national defense needs. Among the actions called for to achieve this responsibility is the devel opment of new cooperative research venues.

... The committee was also asked to comment on specific pro posals to revitalize the field of naval engineering and improve ship design and production. The two goals of developing human capital and revitalizing naval engi neering were used by the committee to provide a foundation for evaluating how well each option for structuring a cooperative research program will serve the Navy's needs.
