Traveling all the way to Montréal, Canada, the UCLA ASCE Concrete Canoe team finished off a very progressive year with a very respectable 9th place out of 22 nationally competiting teams.

From the article: "The races, both endurance and sprint combined, counted for only 25 percent of the teams’ overall score. The remaining 75 percent was based equally on a technical design paper that highlighted the planning, development, testing and construction of the team’s canoe; a formal oral presentation, in which the team had to detail their canoe’s design, construction, racing ability and other innovative features, as well as defend their choices to the judges during a question and answer session; and the end product—the final racing canoe and project display, which were scored on aesthetics and visual presentation."

Hosted at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in downtown Los Angeles, the 2008 Banquet was definitely a success.

To many laughs, the yearly slideshow was shown and many of ASCE's outstanding officers and out-going seniors were recognized with awards.

For the first time in many years, the UCLA ASCE Steel Bridge team qualified and competed in national competition.

The journey began with a 3rd place finish at the 2008 Pacific Southwest Regional Conference. The team had mere weeks in between regional and national competition to prepare their bridge for the cross-country flight to Gainesville, Florida. The importance of simply making it to nationals -- learning and seeing other designs and interacticing with other teams -- was the main area of focus. The team put forth their best effort and earned a respectable 36th place. With the new knowledge and confidance gained from this year, be sure to see the Steel Bridge team at it again in 2009!
