传统上，林产品行业专注于可持续和可再生结构产品。从事可持续生物产品的专业的学生将为森林产品的未来职业打下坚实的基础，这些产品将在木材衍生产品，材料和结构的产品，制造，销售，贸易和基本方面。该课程还纳入了当代新产品，包括来自农业残留物的木材和非木材产品，其他天然纤维，天然粘合剂，非木材材料和其他当代工程产品。此外，特种化学品，例如来自自然资源的油漆和粘合剂，以及与木屑，生物油和木醇有关的生物基能源，对于可持续工业生产而言越来越重要。除了利用木材和农业残留物外，该学科还试图通过防腐处理和更好的建筑技术使房屋和
The forest products profession has traditionally focused on sustainable and renewable structural products. Students majoring in sustainable bioproducts for a future career in forest products will have a strong foundation in products, manufacturing, sales, trading and fundamental aspects of timber-derived products, materials and structures. The curriculum also incorporates contemporary new products to include wood and non‐wood products that come from agricultural residues, other natural fibers, natural‐based adhesives, non‐wood materials and other contemporary engineered products. Additionally, specialty chemicals such as paints and adhesives from natural resources and bio‐based energy such as that related to wood pellets, bio‐oil and wood alcohol are increasingly important with respect to sustainable industrial production. In addition to utilizing timber and agricultural residues, the discipline seeks to make housing and other structures last longer via preservative treatments and better construction techniques.
