“Forestry in Japan and Forest Engineering”
● Forestry engineering is one of the broad study areas aiming at clarifying and improving the efficiency of forestry machinery and operations from planting to harvesting and transporting required in the former half of the timber life cycle and energy utilization of biomass. The study area also aiming at the planning of forest roads and forest road networks. 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 forestry and a life cycle of logs in Japan will be given at first, and then, an overview of forest engineering will be given. Then, modern researches will be introduced. Furthermore, two popular study methods; vibration analysis and LCA in forestry.
● This course is a lecture course designed to develop advanced professional skills in the field of symbiotic science of environment and natural resources by learning the latest knowledge and technologies in agricultural science.
● In the class, videos taken in the field and old photographs are used to help students with different fields of specialization to visualize the field.
