UNBC Master of Engineering

UNBC Master of Engineering Master of Engineering, Integrated Wood Design

The program will focus on educating students in the field of modern wood structures including not only up-to-date structural design, focusing on special fields such as seismic design and hybrid structures, but also on building science, energy efficiency and sustainability to give students well rounded knowledge to enable them to actively contribute to the evolution and innovation in the constructi

on industry. The aim of this one year trimester Master of Engineering in Integrated Wood Design program is to educate and train engineers and professionals with comparable qualification in Northern British Columbia and beyond with advanced research skills and extensive preparation in a wide field of sustainable wood design. Students will come from a variety of undergraduate programs in BC, Canada and internationally, mainly with an undergraduate engineering degree. The curriculum consists of 16 courses with a total of 51 credits over 12 months, developing integrated design and research skills. The entire program will be offered in block format to increase efficiency and attractiveness for international experts and students and therefore also for local students.
