UCSD Concrete Canoe Goes to Hawaii
1 of 8
The ‘Dow Jones’ got a lift on Thursday by UC San Diego structural engineering students. We’re not talking about the overall indicator of the condition of the stock market, but a handmade, 300-pound concrete canoe destined for Hawaii. A team of students designed and built the 25-foot canoe as part of an annual collegiate conference and competition organized by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
