The purpose of this project is to design, construct, and race a canoe made of concrete. NAU and the Civil, Environmental, and Construction Management Engineering (CECMEE) ASCE Chapter has provided students the opportunity to compete at the 2025-2026 ASCE Intermountain Southwest Student Symposium (ISWS) and expect competitors to fully design, construct, and race a functional concrete canoe making sure it follows the ISWS rules and guidelines.
As per the ASCE Request for Proposal (RFP), this project aims to highlight the versatility and durability of concrete as a construction material to the public and the industry. This will be accomplished by using supplementary cementitious materials and admixtures in a concrete mix that will result in a lightweight concrete with the capability to withstand forces associated with racing. This exemplification of concrete's diverse application at the competition will promote innovation towards students, educators, and industry professionals.
We are currently seeking sponsorships to support our 2026 Concrete Canoe project. Your contribution will help us design, build, and compete at the ASCE Intermountain Southwest Student Symposium.
