University of Tasmania has launched a new Timber Design specialisation to its master of professional engineering course. This specialisation will help its students to enhance their career opportunities. Dayne Davis (Timber Design Studio managing director) said, the design and global construction industry was crying out for more engineers with experience in wood, as global attention turned to an increasing reliance on renewable and sustainable materials.“This specialisation will give students the opportunity to be at the forefront of a new wave of construction,” he said. “Knowledge of timber construction is virtually becoming mandatory now, given the carbon-conscious market and investors.”
