Engineering Degree Program in China - Wood Science and Engineering

1. Introduction

Wood Science and Engineering trains advanced engineering and technical personnel with the basic theory and basic knowledge of wood physical and chemical, electrical and electronic technology, machinery foundation and wood science and processing technology, plastic arts and design arts, fundamentals of materials science, international timber trade, can be engaged in timber processing and furniture design and manufacture and interior decoration engineering, engineering design, process flow and equipment management, new product development, business management, wood trade.

Wood science and engineering includes two parts: wood science and wood engineering. Wood science refers to the understanding of wood raw materials, including the microstructure of wood, the identification of wood species, and the basic properties of wood. Wood engineering is through the processing of wood, wood products and can be used by people. Wood science and engineering is the use of mechanical or physical and chemical methods, processing and treatment of wood, and enhance the wood added value, made to maintain the basic feature of the wood products processing industry, including lumber, wood drying, wood preservative, wood modification, wood processing and furniture manufacturing, artificial board manufacturing, artificial plate surface decoration, artificial board functional processing, interior decoration, placed under house arrest manufacturing, bamboo and rattan processing etc., which can be divided into five directions: wood drying, wood adhesives and coatings, woodworking machinery and furniture design.
