Engineering Design Teams

DALHOUSIE CONCRETE CANOE TEAM [inactive]

The Dalhousie Concrete Canoe Team is a student-run engineering design team that competes annually in the Canadian National Concrete Canoe Competition (CNCCC). Students will continue to develop practical skills in concrete and structural design, project management, technical writing, and safety. Paddlers will learn boat skills get to race in a series of events at the competition.

The Dalhousie Microtransat Autonomous Sailboat team is a multi-disciplinary engineering team that ranges from second year all the way to graduate level students. Our team is then divided into four sub teams: Management, Electrical, Software, and Mechanical. We are designing and building a sustainable, small-scale, autonomous sailboat. We are doing so as part of an international competition known as the ‘Microtransat Challenge’, which tasks teams to create self-driving marine vessels capable of crossing the Atlantic Ocean. The project aims to further the field of unmanned marine robotics, which are seen as a key step in rendering oceans research and the offshore oil industry more safe, sustainable, and cost-effective. Aside from our sailboat project, we try to promote and educate students about the career opportunities in Ocean Engineering and Technology.

The Dalhousie Formula SAE (DALFSAE) society aims to provide Dalhousie students with the opportunity to transfer the knowledge learned in the classroom into concrete engineering skills by participating in the Formula Student collegiate competition hosted by the Society of Automotive Engineers. Students' skill development opportunities range from project management, manufacturing, CAD design, simulation, research, leadership, etc. The FSAE student collegiate competition challenges students to design, build, test, and race an open-wheeled race car using first-principles-based engineering methods.

Dalhousie Solar Race Team

DalSol is the first-ever solar electric vehicle team in Atlantic Canada. With NOVA, our 100% solar-powered EV, we have our eyes set on racing at internationally prestigious solar car competition Formula Sun Grand Prix 2022, American Solar Challenge 2024 and World Solar Challenge 2025.
