About the course

In addition to completing the full set of engineering fundamentals courses, forest engineering students obtain additional specialization in process engineering for forest products, structural design using engineered wood products, land and water conservation engineering, design of forest roads and transportation systems, and design of forest machine systems and mobile equipment. Students in the program also take courses in ecology, biology, silviculture, mensuration, economics, forest management, and forest operations. Education as both an engineer and a forester gives the forest engineer a broad selection of career opportunities.
