Wood is a complex biological material. It is found in the stems and roots in most larger land plants. To the materials seientist and engineer it has measurable properties, to the economist it is a renewable natural resouree, and to the eonsumer it is the material from which we obtain our timber (lumber), eardboard, paper, and a host of other reconstituted products. But whatever uses we have found for wood they are all secondary to its primary biological functions namely to conduct water up to the leaves of living plants and to provide a structural framework for holding these leaves up to the sun.

In structural design in the context of civil engineering, there are three construction materials that are dominant steel, reinforced concrete, and timber. Each has its own design specifications. Thus, steel structure design, reinforced-concrete structure design, and timber structure design are three main design disciplines. 

Other undergraduate courses in structural engineering may include design of timber structures, masonry structures, advanced structural analysis, and pre-stressed concrete structure design.
