Concrete Canoe<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Each year the MTU Concrete Canoe Team, along with 200 other teams around the nation, design and build a concrete canoe which they take to a regional competition. We compete against teams from University of Michigan, Michigan State, and Western Michigan University among others. We’ve placed in the top 10 teams in the nation with a team best 3rd place finish in 2005 and 2012.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Timber Strong<\/p>\n

\"\"[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Starting in 2022, Michigan Tech\u2019s Timber Strong team is the latest addition to Michigan Tech\u2019s ASCE teams. This program tasks schools to create a structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing two-story building with a cantilevered beam on one side. While younger than Michigan Tech\u2019s Steel Bridge and Concrete Canoe teams, the Timber Strong has been as successful by winning first place last year and setting the national ASCE record for build time in under 15 minutes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
