The course is structured to provide students with an in-depth knowledge of mechanization for forest restoration interventions, essential for selecting machinery, technologies, and work systems while considering functional, management, sizing, safety, time, and cost aspects of forestry operations and urban green space management. These educational objectives offer students an integrated and multidisciplinary preparation, combining technical and diagnostic skills necessary to operate effectively and sustainably in forest ecosystem restoration, urban green space management, and tree safety assessment.

In detail:

1. Knowledge and understanding: Students will acquire a solid understanding of the technologies and different types of machinery used in forest restoration interventions and urban green space management, including biomechanics and technologies for assessing tree stability. They will be able to comprehend the ecological, engineering, safety, and technical principles underlying mechanization in specific natural and urban contexts, as well as the methodologies for diagnosing and assessing tree stability.
2. Applied knowledge and understanding: Students will be capable of applying the knowledge acquired to design and implement mechanized interventions in forest restoration and urban green space management, including techniques for assessing and monitoring tree stability. They will be able to select appropriate equipment and technologies for specific interventions based on the context and operational needs, integrating tree stability assessment into urban green space management and restoration practices.
3. Autonomy in judgment: Students will develop the ability to critically evaluate mechanization techniques and technologies, and tree stability assessment, considering costs, benefits, operational efficiency, safety aspects, and environmental and social impact. They will be able to make informed decisions regarding the selection and use of machinery and diagnostic technologies, based on a comprehensive evaluation of ecological, safety, and forest and green space management needs.
4. Communication skills: Students will be able to effectively communicate their technical and operational choices related to forest mechanization, urban green space management, and tree stability assessment, adapting their language to different audiences, including technicians, administrators, and local communities. They will be capable of drafting technical reports, operational plans, and presentations that detail the strategies adopted and the results achieved.
5. Learning skills: Students will develop the ability to continuously update themselves on emerging technologies and methodologies in the field of forest mechanization, urban green space management, and tree stability assessment techniques. They will be able to self-assess their skills and knowledge, adapting to sector evolutions to continually improve their professionalism and contribute to innovation in restoration and management practices.
