	(GNCTR). GNCTR is one of the oldest and the largest engineering design competition in Canada, founded in 1974. Each year, over 400 Canadian engineering students come together and do what engineers do best: race concrete toboggans down ski hills at 70 km/h. To compete, each team must construct a toboggan that has concrete running surfaces, weighs less than 300 lbs, has functioning steering and braking systems, and can safely carry 5 riders down the hill.

	The toboggan itself is a carefully designed ~~machine~~. Our design process begins with generating a solid model of the proposed superstructure design, including the steering and braking systems. This model is analyzed and revised to optimize performance, weight, and stress concentrations. Meanwhile, the concrete mix is formulated and goes through a series of iterations to produce the highest strength-to-weight ratio (among other factors). Finally, after the designs have been finalized, construction of the toboggan begins—this stage requires students with machine shop and concrete pouring experience.
