Evan Earl Lee, EIT

Naval Architect, USCG Marine Safety Center

Summary:

I am an industrious, collaborative, and enthusiastic naval architect seeking to return my career to design-oriented roles. My skillset is well rounded, with my strongest abilities including hull design, stability analysis, weight engineering, structural scantling work, regulatory compliance, and technical writing; additional skills include seakeeping, maneuverability, and vessel arrangement design. I perform the best in fast-paced, team-oriented environments and I believe that I would be an effective asset to any naval architecture firm.

Education:

Bachelor’s of Science in Engineering (B.S.E.), University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, April 2017.

Major: Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (NAME).

Work Experience:

USCG Marine Safety Center, Anacostia, DC

Naval Architect                                                                                         October 2023 – Present

• Evaluate regulatory compliance for vessels covered by 46 CFR Subchapters C, D, I, L, O, S, and other subchapters as applicable.
• Determine areas of non-compliance in all manner of vessel plans and gently guide submitters’ projects towards safe and successful completion, all under strict time constraints.
• Identify loopholes, nuances, and regulatory gaps that create confusion and noncompliance in industry and propose mitigating revisions to the CFR.
• Support and coordinate with dozens of Coast Guard sectors, marine safety units, and marine safety detachments throughout the country in order to provide timely and effective regulatory review to the entire US maritime industry.

• Managed, created, reviewed, and delivered general arrangements, inboard/outboard profiles, midship sections, shell expansions, and other drawings and reports in support of the US Army Maneuver Support Vessel – Light (MSVL) program.
• Conducted an array of naval architecture and marine engineering functions, including: intact stability analysis, general arrangement design, scantling assessment, prime mover selection, vessel inclines, and other duties. Local to DC, I inclined the tall ship Providence in the summer of 2019.

Bay Engineering, Inc., Sturgeon Bay, WI

Assistant Naval Architect                                                                 May 2017 – December 2018

• Performed diverse naval architecture duties, including: tonnage calculations, intact stability analysis, longitudinal strength analysis, incline experiments, lines drawing, weight estimating, and more.
• Designed ice reinforcements, corrosion reinforcements, equipment foundations, superstructure scantlings, and other structural elements.
• Regularly conducted ship checks and surveys of bulk cargo vessels, ferries, articulated tug-barge units, deck and crane barges, and harbor tugs at ports around the Great Lakes.

Naval Architecture Intern                                                                May 2016 – September 2016

• Developed skill and competence in the naval architecture and structural analysis tasks described above and ship design and construction in general.
