Description
Description | Old Dominion University's American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) team designed and built a concrete canoe for the ASCE Virginias' Student Symposium and Concrete Canoe Competition. The project involved translating classroom theory into real-world engineering decisions, including designing the hull shape, selecting materials based on water conditions, and refining the concrete mix. The team created a foam mold and layered concrete to build a canoe capable of floating, overcoming logistical challenges and teamwork obstacles. |
