Renewable Materials: Science & Engineering
Associate of Science Degree
Articulated with Oregon State University
Program Mission
The Science and Engineering option focuses on science, technology and engineering when it comes to working with wood products. Students gain a strong understanding of where wood products come from, and test renewable materials to determine how we can use them in new and innovative ways. Students learn in woodshops, labs and even test materials in our climate rooms and earthquake testing room.
Program Description
The Science & Engineering option is a flexible, math and science intensive option that allows students to design a personalized curriculum that opens doors to jobs that solve complex problems, create efficiencies, and foster intelligent use of renewable materials.
Program Outcomes
This UCC program aligns with the programs offered through the OSU College of Forestry Program. UCC students that complete the Renewable Materials: Science and Engineering AS degree in Forestry will have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to:
- Demonstrate ability to find, compile, analyze and communicate technical information in a concise format
- Demonstrate basic knowledge of wood and similar renewable materials that make them challenging to utilize as industrial and building materials
- Understand the source of wood products and how they are utilized
- The ability to solve complex problems and create efficiencies for the application of renewable materials
OSU Degree Partnership Program
UCC works closely with Oregon State University (OSU) so that students can dual-enroll, pursue any degree that OSU offers, reap cost savings, and benefit from access to more scholarships and services. Learn more.
