In a move that can be rivaled to a Hollywood movie stunt, the final year students of EMU Civil Engineering department has produced a canoe/boat made of concrete that can float on water. This amazing feat was designed in the laboratories of the Civil Engineering faculty of Eastern Mediterranean University, EMU by the final year students.

While expressing joy that the project worked as they envisaged, the members of the engineering team pointed out that it was 'a combination of long hours, determination, strong will and a deep sense of purpose'
