Who is Ready for Spring Quarter!?
On
April 15th, we have an outstanding opportunity to see a modern
application of Science and Engineering. Brendan is an officer recruiter
for the US Navy
and UW EE alumn who has arranged for a tour of one of the most
classified platforms in the world. Ballistic Missile Submarines operate
in complete silence in the middle of the ocean, away from the prying
eyes of potential adversaries. These massive
vessels, 560 feet long displacing 18,750 tons, are Nuclear Powered and
the officers onboard are trained Nuclear Plant managers and Submarine
Operators, some within one year of graduating college.
The
trip will start on April 15th with a meeting at the Navy Office located
at 15th and 42nd at 7:00 am on April 15th. From there you will receive
transportation
to the Bangor Submarine base and begin the tour of the base and
submarine. Lunch is not provided, but will cost $4.00, and it is good
food! Expect to return to campus by 5:00 pm.
To be eligible, you must:
- Have US Citizenship
- Have completed or are in the process of taking the engineering physics and calculus series with a B or higher.

*prior to the tour. No obligation required. Their office is on 42nd and 15th, near MOD Pizza. 4201 15th Ave NE.
