I discuss the pros and cons of joining the ASCE Concrete Canoe team.

I break down how the concrete canoe competition works and some of the rules and regulations set out by the ASCE. I discuss some of my experiences when joining the NYU Concrete Canoe Club and some of the skills and experience I received along the way.

I recommend all civil engineering students (and some mechanical engineering students) join the competition because there is a lot to learn and gain.

The competition will help boost your resume by providing leadership skills and extracurricular activates that you can write down. It's always a point of bonding to meet other civil engineering students who participated in the ASCE Concrete Canoe Competition. These are especially important for civil engineering interviews when a personal connection goes a long way.

I hope this video helps you with your decision to join (or not) and as always,
Stay Civil!
