ASCE Concrete Canoe Competition
ASCE Civil Engineering Student Championships
The 2026 Civil Engineering Student Championships will be held June 25-27, 2026 at Fairmont State University, Fairmont, WV.
About the competition
The ASCE Concrete Canoe Competition provides students a unique opportunity to gain hands-on practical experience while testing their skills with concrete mix designs and project management challenges.
The first ASCE Concrete Canoe Competition was held in 1988, but the history of Concrete Canoe goes back to the 1960s, when a small number of ASCE Student Chapters began holding intramural concrete canoe races.
This elite competition combining engineering excellence, hydrodynamic design, and racing technique is known as the "America's Cup of Civil Engineering."
The ASCE Concrete Canoe Competition was made possible with funding from the ASCE Foundation.
