 Floating Concrete!? 

It's a thing! Since the 1960s, ASCE student chapters have designed, built, and raced canoes made of concrete. It is weird concrete, but it is still concrete!

​

This unique challenge aligns with Cal Poly's motto of "Learn by Doing" where students jump in to tackle complex project management and develop innovative design choices.

 A Decorated History 

Cal Poly SLO has pulled ahead of the competition year after year. The club has earned seven national championship victories, the most out of any university!

​

In 2024, the Oceana team claimed 3rd place at the ASCE Civil Engineering Student Championships.
