course aims in Estonian
Antakse süstemaatiline ülevaade olulisemate tehnoloogiliste puiduliikide makro- ja mikroehitusest, puidu omaduste füüsikalistest ja mehaanilistest omadustest. Tutvustatakase puitmaterjale ja nende termilise ja keemilise modifitseerimise tehnloogiaid. Antakse ülevaade puidupõhistest komposiitmaterjalidest.
course aims in English
To give a concise overview of the macro- and microstructure of most important technological species of wood, their physical and mechanical properties, thermal treatment and wood impregnation and chemical modification methods will be introduced. The overview about the wood based composite materials will be given

type of assessment in Estonian
Kursuse jooksul korraldatakse kaks kontrolltööd. Kursuse jooksul tuleb sooritada vähemalt 4 laboratoorset tööd. Kursuse jooksul tuleb koostada, esitada ja seminaril kaitsta referaat üliõpilase poolt valitud teemal. Semestri lõpul tuleb sooritada kirjalik eksam, mille hinne moodustab 50% koondhindest.
type of assessment in English
Written tests 1 and 2, are passed with positive score,
laboratory work is done and reports 1-4 are graded with positive
score, e-tests 1-10 are graded with positive score, Term paper is graded and presented with positive score.
