SIUE Civil Engineering students work to move a concrete canoe that students created out of water during the annual regional ASCE Conference.
SIUE students compete in the annual concrete canoe competition, which was held on campus Saturday.
From April 4-6, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville hosted the 2013 American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Mid-Continent Student Conference. Approximately 330 civil engineering students and faculty from 15 Midwest universities participated in the competition.
The University of Oklahoma took the top spot in this year’s annual regional concrete canoe competition, which is a major highlight of the conference. The competition took place at the SIUE Cougar Lake Marina on Saturday. The SIUE Concrete Canoe Team won last year’s competition, which was held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
The first place team is invited to the national competition. For more information, visit the conference website.
