Wood stands as the planet's most widely used and eco-friendly construction resource. Valued for its visual appeal, longevity, and workability, wood is emerging as the preferred choice in modern sustainable and health-conscious architecture. British Columbia's abundant renewable timber supplies and a global woodworking tradition create ideal conditions for UNBC, the region, and industry collaborators to establish a premier educational initiative focused on sustainable, health-oriented construction with wood.
To address industry demands, the Master of Engineering in Integrated Wood Design cultivates students' knowledge of wood as a flexible, sustainable construction element capable of applications surpassing conventional concrete and steel limitations. Learners examine wood at microscopic and structural scales while mastering both the technical and creative aspects of wooden building design.
This intensive one-year graduate program rests on four foundational elements:
Wood Mechanics and Timber Structures: Participants develop comprehensive knowledge of wood. Beginning with supply chain analysis, students recognize wood's sustainable qualities, distinctive composition, organic characteristics, and comparative advantages against traditional building materials.
Practical Application: True wood understanding comes only through direct interaction with this intricate material. Students construct scale models to investigate wood's adaptability and structural complexity. Opportunities may include community or professional internships.
