Concrete Canoe is a civil engineering competition team that, as the name suggests, builds a canoe out of concrete. (Yes, it floats.) Throughout the course we will design the hull, run structural analysis, construct a form for the canoe, train for races and the Berkeley Aquatic park, and develop and aesthetic design to wow the concrete canoe world. This all leads up to a competition against other universities in which we will put our canoe to the test!

Beyond being an incredible learning experience, concrete canoe is a community. When you join this decal, you are joining a team. We are made up of engineers, artists, scientists, you name it, you're welcomed. So what are you waiting for? Grab a paddle.

There are no exams or papers. Grading is based on participation and attendance. Two excused absences will be given each semester. Weekly meeting attendance is required in addition to 3 hours of lab attendance.

As this course is a continuation from the Fall 2016 semester, students from last semester have first priority and guaranteed admittance. Additional spots in the course will be open to students that come to our first meeting and fill out an application given out during the first class. Ultimately we are looking for people that are passionate about our team and willing to actively contribute.
