MCGILL CONCRETE CANOE: MCC 2010
We are a highly dedicated design team of Civil and Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate students at McGill University, Montreal, Canada. Here on the University campus, we venture to take on the challenge of making a concrete canoe to enter the Canadian National Concrete Canoe Competition (CNCCC).
Taking place May 2010, the CNCCC event involves 10 major Universities in Canada, allowing its winner to go to the International Competition in the US, along with all the winning teams from 14 different countries vying for the grand prize.
How do we build the boat?
With the facility and supervision provided by the faculty of Engineering here at McGill, we rely on our design ingenuity, dedication to construction, corporate sponsorship, and most importantly, the active support of Undergraduate students in the Civil Engineering department.
