Abstract
An extension for the concrete canoe to create a production proposal for the competition. The elements of the capstone enhancement are as follows: defining the value of the project, defining the innovation, determining ways that the product can be sustainable and outlining the manufacturing process and cost. Value can be defined per Merriam-Webster as “the monetary worth of something.” By the same source, it can also be described as “relative worth, utility, or importance. These definitions will be used in how I define value. Sustainability will be defined using the three pillars of sustainability – social, economic, and environmental impacts. Improvements for the project compared to past years will be established throughout any project process, a team learns best practices to improve the prototype, process, or procedure. Manufacturing Cost Estimate will be based on the cost of mass-producing 100 canoes. After the estimate is determined a one page fee schedule will be prepared. Hourly rates and multipliers will be determined based on the ASCE 2024 Concrete Canoe Request for proposal. Since we are preparing two canoes this year, these documents will need to be created for both of them. The production proposal and manufacturing fee will be combined with the construction drawings from the hull design officer before being submitted to the Concrete Canoe Competition Committee. After the conference documents are completed, a presentation will be created to show how the report was developed and how it influenced the overall project.
