A Basic Undergraduate Curriculum in Wood Utilization

The author proposes a curriculum for the Bachelor’s Degree in Wood Utilization that is based heavily on engineering and related science courses. It will admittedly not satisfy advocates of strong concentration in humanistic subjects. The proposed course of study includes: 12 credits in mathematics, 6 credits in botany or botany and zoology, 9 credits in English, 4 credits in drawing, 16 credits in physics and chemistry, 6 credits in applied mechanics, and 3 credits in economics. A total of 12 hours in basic forestry and 16 in basic wood technology and utilization are suggested. Finally, 9 credits in basic engineering, 9 elective credits in the humanities and 32 credits in professional and technical courses are recommended, the content depending upon the major field of interest. Summer field work for 8 hours of credit is considered an added requirement.
