Abstract
The purpose of this project was to become project engineers to create a plan for the construction of a concrete canoe, assemble several mixture designs that follow all rules and
regulations, design a suitable mold along with a structural analysis, and finally produce a final
project prototype that is appropriate to race. The 2023 American Society of Civil Engineers Concrete Canoe Competition Request for Proposals was heavily reviewed for this project to ensure the final product met all criteria without any deductions of points. With all pages carefully
reviewed by members of the Student Chapter, the final project prototype was fully constructed and transported to Bowling Green, Kentucky for the 2022-2023 Student Symposium. Here, the University of Southern Indiana got the canoe, Second Generation, into the water. It succeeded in
the fact it floated but it failed another test as well as suffered an extensive break in the endcap. Therefore, Second Generation was unable to race on competition day.
