Bring Your Engineering Skills to Life
Our competitions provide the perfect opportunity to apply your engineering knowledge, solve real-world problems, and push the boundaries of your creativity. Ready to take your skills to the next level?
At CSCE Concordia, we don’t just study engineering—we put it to the test. Race down snowy slopes in a concrete toboggan, design a canoe that floats against all odds, or construct a bridge that defies expectations. Our competitions challenge you to think like an engineer, work as a team, and turn ideas into reality. Ready to take on the challenge?
Popsicle bridge Building
We send multiple teams of 4-5 students to the Troitsky Bridge Building Competition, where we construct bridges from popsicle sticks and dental floss. These bridges are tested for maximum weight capacity, with last year’s winning team supporting over 1 ton!
Concrete Canoe
Our team builds a 20-foot-long concrete canoe to compete in the Canadian National Concrete Canoe Competition. This innovative project showcases our engineering skills and creativity.
Concrete Toboggan
We proudly represent Concordia at the Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race (GNCTR), the largest and longest-running Canadian undergraduate engineering competition. Our team designs and manufactures a toboggan that carries five passengers, featuring concrete skis, a structural frame, a braking system, and a steering system.
IceBox Challenge
We proudly represent Concordia in the IceBox Challenge, an international sustainability competition now coming to Montreal. Our team designs and builds an energy-efficient structure that preserves a large block of ice for one month without any active cooling.
Steel Bridge
We proudly represent Concordia University at the Canadian National Steel Bridge Competition (CNSBC), an annual event that brings together engineering students from across the country to design, fabricate, and assemble a steel bridge. Our team’s mission is to create a structure that combines strength, efficiency, and elegance while meeting the rigorous technical and design requirements of the competition.
