George Mason University's Student Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Concrete Canoe Team designed, built, and raced their concrete canoe at the ASCE regional competition in April 2015. The student team invested 8 months in the design-build process resulting in their fastest canoe to date. Support for the project provided in part by Mason's Office of Student Scholarship, Creative Activities, and Research (OSCAR) and the Civil Engineering Institute (CEI).
