PNSY Enters into Agreement with UMass Lowell KITTERY Portsmouth Naval Shipyard entered into an educational partnership agreement (EPA) with the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UMass Lowell) at a signing ceremony February 4. This is the shipyard’s first laboratory agreement with a Massachusetts academic institution since achieving laboratory status in March 2017; additional laboratory agreements are in development. “The partnership allows us to work collaboratively with UMass Lowell and their unique facilities and talented people to address real-world technical challenges we see in a shipyard environment,” said Shipyard Commander, Capt. Daniel Ettlich. “This promotes education collaboration and knowledge sharing to adapt new technologies in support of our mission to safely deliver submarines to the fleet on time, and on budget.” The five-year agreement will allow the Navy to make its scientific, engineering, and technology assets and subject matter experts available to University faculty to enhance the educational experience of UMass Lowell students. In turn, the Navy is able to involve UMass Lowell faculty and students in innovative projects underway at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. “This EPA solidifies the growing partnership between Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and UMass Lowell,” said Provost
