This course connects the fundamental wood science concepts to primary and secondary wood processing. Specifically, the course provides students with advance knowledge in processing of solid wood, wood-based composite, and modified wood products from the theoretical and practical aspects highlighting product evaluation, manufacturing technology, and environmental impacts.
To transfer knowledge in processing of various value-added products include energy products from forest resources and their environmental impacts; to connect the students’ previous knowledge in wood science, manufacturing, and other related engineering disciplines to the processing and quality control of wood-based products through lectures and hands-on activities
1. Acquire advanced knowledge in the manufacturing, evaluation, application, and quality management of solid wood and wood-based composites.2. Gain hands-on experience in consolidating wood composites and conducting internationally recognised tests to evaluate their properties.3. Assess the environmental impacts of wood-based building products using publicly available tools.4. Understand the principles of computer-aided technology and current trends and issues in the timber manufacturing and construction industries.5. Professional communicate technical content through laboratory reports and oral presentations.
