Massachusetts Institute of Technology and The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc. are sponsoring a series of classified and unclassified professional courses organized and developed by the Professional Summer Program at MIT.  The courses are intended for officers and civilian personnel in government and industry working in ship systems design, analysis and production, and in specific technologies important to the U.S. Navy.  This year's program will run from June 9 to August 1, 2008, and will include six courses (which may be taken individually).

The Professional Summer Program was developed to meet the needs of Navy graduate students in the Naval Construction and Engineering Program in MIT's Department of Mechanical Engineering and to provide others with an opportunity to study and discuss technical issues important to the U.S. Navy.  Lecturers in the Program have been selected to present conceptual frameworks, up to date information, and perspectives for the future..  Lecturers come from a variety of technical sources, including the U.S. Navy, industry, and academia.

This is the thirty-sixth year of the Professional Summer Program.  The program of previous years has launched what has become an important and continuing forum for education and information exchange among the leaders of the military technical communities. All courses meet the "Continuous Learning Points" (CLP) requirements of the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvements Act (DAWIA). This year's course schedule is:
