The first-year engineering students will build a “Miniature” version of a concrete canoe, smaller than 2 feet long. The students will gain hands-on practical experience in mix designs, concrete mixing, mold design, testing, and project management challenges. The project idea comes from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Concrete Canoe Competition, providing civil engineering students with a unique opportunity to gain hands-on practical experience. This project not only teaches the students the topic of buoyancy, testing, and mixing the concrete but also provides a chance to be plugged in with the ASCE chapter at the university. The project must be done in a team of 4 (recommended) with a team-selected communication officer and a technical advisor with expertise in concrete mixing, typically a civil engineering professor. They will begin with understanding the equations and relationships of the variables involved in buoyancy. Then the students either design the canoe using CAD or find a mold that is easy to calculate the volume of the canoe. Using household items as mold is strongly recommended for better project time management. A few recommended options for mixing are cement, fiberglass, cement glue, and foam. The lab guidelines must be followed per university policy, and personal protective equipment must be worn at all times. 
Deliverable Requirements:
It must be less than 2ft and greater than 1 foot long.
Must float when tested in the water for more than 30 seconds. 
Must be demonstrated (video or real-time in class). They must turn in their mix-design table.
