A TEST OF SKILL
The ASCE Concrete Canoe National Competition provides students with an opportunity to gain hands-on practical experience while testing their skills with concrete mix designs and project management skills. Known as the “America’s Cup of Civil Engineering,” the competition began in 1988 and combines engineering excellence, hydrodynamic design and racing technique.
