hile Carroll College was going crazy for Softball Weekend, American Society Wof Civil Engineers (ASCE) was hard at work in Portland. Carroll’s chapter of the ASCE competed in the annual concrete canoe race with their canoe, "The Sleeping Giant." A group of students represented Carroll at Portland State University in Oregon. This year’s team took tenth place out of 13 contestants. The engineering of a concrete canoe made for racing has been a long-standing tradition for the engineering students of Carroll. Gary Fischer, a civil engineering professor, has been the faculty advisor for ASCE since 2006. He had some very fond memories about the competition throughout the years. “Back at Portland State in 2008, the canoe broke completely in half,” said Fischer. “It didn’t sink, but we didn’t bring it back because it was pretty much garbage.” Fischer has worked alongside students to keep Carroll a competitive ¿gure in the concrete canoe scene.
