Renewable Materials: Advanced Wood Manufacturing
Associate of Science Degree
Articulated with Oregon State University
The Advanced Wood Manufacturing option focuses on behavior of bio-based materials and adds a strong foundation in advanced manufacturing processes such as automation, scanning and optimization systems, computer numerically controlled (CNC) machining, robotics, and 3D printing.
Careers
Wood is a renewable resource that is used to make many products that our society uses every day. Oregon is a leader in the manufacturing and utilization of wood products. There are exciting new technological advances in wood manufacturing that are rapidly expanding the opportunities to utilize wood as a building material. There is a strong job demand for these skills, and there are many scholarship opportunities for students and job opportunities for graduates with this degree.

Why UCC?
The freshman and sophomore years at most universities are designated pre-engineering, with the junior and senior years designated professional engineering. Many of the transfer courses during the first two years of study are math, science and elective courses. At UCC, you can take the required core courses in smaller classroom settings and at lower cost than at four-year institutions. The Associate of Science (AS) degree is awarded once all required courses, electives and general education requirements are successfully completed.
