Course description

“World of Forestry Engineering” The forestry engineering is one of broad study area aiming at clarifying and improving efficiency of forestry machinery and operations from planting to harvesting and transporting required in the former half of timber life cycle and energy utilization of biomass. The study area also aiming at planning of forest road and forest road network. It consists of forestry machinery, forestry operation system, ergonomics and forestry civil engineering and uses a variety of study methods. In this class, outlines of the forestry engineering and a life cycle of logs will be given at first. Then, modern researches will be introduced. Furthermore, two popular study methods; vibration analysis and terrain analysis with GIS.
