Innovation, Engineering, and Teamwork at NYU Tandon.
Vertically Integrated Projects
Concrete Canoe is a Tandon VIP (Vertically Integrated Project) that teaches students design through the construction of a concrete canoe. Throughout the year-long process, we develop creative and innovative ideas to produce the most efficient design, from hydrodynamic analysis to digital fabrication. Learn more here.
