Major in Wood Science and Engineering
After the UN Rio Environmental Summit in 1992, international interest in woody biomass- produced forests has grown due to their important roles in environmental conservation and bio-energy. The undergraduate program in Wood Science and Engineering is dedicated to extending wood resources to meet the growing needs of society through research on manufacturing and processing of wood-based materials which are indispensable to enhancing the quality of human life.
The program offers a wide various challenging career tracks: wood anatomy, wood physics, wood processing, wood improvement for design and construction of wood-framing structures, bio-energy, wood biotechnology and wood chemistry. More specific wood chemical and biological processing programs also address the question of harnessing the environment for fiber and energy production in the near future.
Students may pursue various careers in wood-processing industries including lumbering, plywood, and furniture manufacturing and production. Other industries include particle boards and fiber boards, pulp and paper, and the bio-fuel production industry.
Forestry Major
Forests occupy 65% of the land area in Korea. The mission of the Major in Forestry is to educate and engage the next generation of scholars, practitioners, and users of the forests, to conduct distinctive problem-solving and fundamental research on nature and use of forests and related resources, and to share discoveries and knowledge with others.
The Major in Forestry is dedicated to the understanding, effective management, and sustainable use of forests to support the national economy and public welfare, and to conserve the forest ecosystem.
Graduates may find work in the Korean Forest Service, Korea National Arboretum, or National Plant Quarantine Service. They can also work in many other public organizations such as the Korea Highway Corporation, Korea National Park Service, the National Forestry Cooperatives Federation, and mushroom production companies. Graduates who earn certificates in forest management or forest seeding may work in private nurseries and work as private forestry technicians who manage their own forests.
