We were surprised that your story on the ASCE/MBT National Concrete Canoe Competition did not provide more detail on the competition or on the winning canoe from The University of Wisconsin-Madison (ENR 7/14 p. 20).
The American Society of Civil Engineers and Master Builders Inc. formed a partnership 16 years ago to organize and sponsor the National Concrete Canoe Competitions, bringing together teams from colleges and universities across the country that had been participating in regional competitions since the early 1970s. Each year, more than 2,000 engineering students participate in ASCE regional competitions.
