The first National Concrete Canoe Competition took place in 1988. The concrete canoe competition is not only to practice engineering skills such as, management, construction, concrete design, environmental topics, communication, and transportation of the final product, but to also brings ACSE Student Organizations together. The competition is held at Cooks Pond in Denville, NJ and is judged on a design paper, oral presentation, races and the final product itself.
