LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Knowledge and Understanding
The course aims to provide students with the theoretical knowledge, analytical tools and organizational instructions to be able to elaborate, from a systemic perspective and on a business basis, projects that solve engineering problems in the field of forest buildings and land survey.
Students must acquire the necessary elements for the design of forestry construction with special reference to wood buildings.
In this area, students will have to know the basic principles of forestry construction with special reference to wood buildings.
Other knowledge that students must acquire concerns the principles, instruments and methodologies for land surveying. In particular, students should be familiar with GNSS systems, GPS in differential technique, the total station and principles of applied geometry for land surveying.


Applied Knowledge and Understanding
The course intends to help students acquire the knowledge and skills such as to:
- Be able to perform the professional roles of planner, works director and building tester;
- Design simple structural elements within the limits of the forester's professional competence;
- Designing solid wood and lamellar wood buildings and structures;
- Finding energy and environmental sustainable solutions in forestry construction;
- Know how to use GNSS Global Positioning Systems also in differential technique, total stations and the most commonly used land surveying methods.

Autonomy in Judgment
The course aims to develop students' autonomy of judgement, such as:
- Knowing how to choose between different solutions the most suitable one for the specific case in relation to the design and realization of sustainable forestry constructions;
- Knowing how to choose materials and technological solutions to reduce the energy and environmental impact of buildings;
- Conducting bibliographic research on scientific, regulatory, and technical sources, and delving into social, professional, and ethical considerations.

Communication Skills
The course also aims to enable students to develop specific skills through educational activities to ensure an adequate level of communication regarding ideas, problems, and solutions related to the technical and scientific training pertinent to forest construction and land surveying.
Learning Skills
The course is designed to foster the development of the necessary skills in the use of technology, such as to ensure the student's constant updating of knowledge useful for the performance of his or her professional or scientific activity, with particular regard to the consultation of regulatory, legislative, technological, digital, methodological and experimental innovation sources in relation to forest construction and land surveying.
