Concrete Canoe Competition

In 2009, UMass Amherst hosted the regional semifinal of the American Society of Civil Engineers' National Concrete Canoe Competition, for which students design and build a fast, floatable canoe of concrete and paddle it in an endurance and sprint race. More than 160 students from 12 northeast universities competed on April 19, and scholarships totaling $9000 were awarded to the winners' undergraduate civil engineering program. The race was held at Lake Wyola in Shutesbury, Mass.

Steel Bridge Competition

You will see a student group of civil engineering students at the University of Louisville Speed School assemble a steel bridge in 45 seconds! OK, we did speed up the video a little bit, but this group was preparing for the ASCE steel bridge design competition held in Lexington, KY on April 24. Part of the criteria for the competition is to construct a 4 ft. X 20 ft. bridge in less than 45 minutes. Look for the 45-second version at the end of the video!
