Wood Design Studio provides an opportunity for students to create, design, build and structurally test wood structures. Classes will entail some instruction but will depend largely on student participation: making and breaking specimens and participating in a design/build project leading to the construction of a wood structure while working together as an interdisciplinary team. While learning about exciting and new natural composite materials (like Cross Laminated Timber), this course is a great resume builder and a fun introduction to materials research and technical communication.
Pre Req: BCT 530 Students may enroll with Instructors permission only.
