During that time, canoe mixtures and designs have varied, but the long-established tradition of teamwork, camaraderie, and spirited competition has been constant. Each year, teams, their associates, judges, and other participants build upon this tradition. This year, teams answered a call for Technical Proposals and Enhanced Focus Area Reports and are competing to be the winning bid on a prototype standardized canoe design for future concrete canoe competitions.

In 2026, the ASCE 3D Printing: Bridging the Future Competition focuses on bridges. Students are challenged to design an aesthetically pleasing, strong, and stiff 3D-printed bridge that will take the least amount of assembly time and meets the geometric requirements.<\/p>\n

The 3D Printing Competition has its origin at the New Jersey Institute of Technology\u2019s inter-collegiate competition in November 2021.<\/p>\n

This competition will continue to be offered as a pilot competition in 2027.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”3D Printing Team Intent Form – MUST be filled out by all teams & faculty advisor(s) (coming soon)” style=”gradient” gradient_color_2=”black” align=”center” css=”” button_block=”true” link=”target:_blank”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator color=”black” border_width=”5″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
