annually designs, constructs, and races a canoe made completely out of concrete. The [[Design Teams|design team]] consists of undergraduate engineering students who all share an interest in working on a stimulating engineering design project. Solving the problem involves creating a unique concrete mix that is both light and strong, designing the hull of the canoe using structural analysis methods, constructing the canoe, and ultimately racing the canoe. The concrete canoe is raced in the spring at the Canadian National Concrete Canoe Competition against universities across Canada. Historically McGill's Concrete Canoe Team has done well in competition, recently winning the Participants Award.
