SDSM& T's concrete canoe was named Icebreaker. SDSM& T competed against 24 other universities from across the nation and Canada who had earned a berth in the national competition after winning their Regional ASCE Conference. SDSM& T was the only university in a 15- state region ( Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming) to compete in this year's event. The smallest public university in the 1997 national competition, South Dakota Tech competed against many larger universities, some with enrollments 14 or 15 times higher -- such as UCLA, Michigan State University, University of Minnesota, Penn State, and University of Wisconsin- Madison. The 1997 National Concrete Canoe first place title went to the Florida Institute of Technology. SDSM& T placed in the top ten in five individual events. For the final product, Tech captured first place and placed third in the technical paper. In the racing events, the team won sixth place in the co- ed sprints and the women's sprints and placed seventh in the men's sprints. South Dakota Tech's student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers ( ASCE) has represented SDSM& T 8 of the 10 years that the national concrete canoe competition has been held. Tech won the national competition in 1995. The national competition is sponsored by ASCE and Master Builders, Inc.
