摘要

Engineering educators in the U.S. have witnessed changes both in their students and in theiruniversities. Students' interests, career goals, perspectives, and study habits have changed. Aswell, universities at all tier levels have put increasing pressures on faculty research productivity;and they, under the pressure of increasing tuition and fees, have often sacrificed some scientificand technical detail to the point of alarm. This suggests that old pedagogies and traditionalteaching approaches may not sustain, through the next decade and beyond, some engineeringareas; and especially one often viewed as so minor as timber engineering education. Thesechanges, as well as the restricted budget environment and the emphasis on research, presentchallenges to timber engineering education; but also the opportunity to choose a different path.Reflecting on more than 50 years of university in-the-classroom teaching experience, shortcourse experience to both the consulting world and government agencies, the authors examinethe role of universities, industry, and government agencies in seeing that the structuralengineering community maintains the professional knowledge base for continued successfuldesign of wood structures and an understanding of their behavior. Several ideas are proposed aswell as new educational strategies for all stakeholders.
