Professional characteristics: Landscape engineering technology is one of the hot majors in higher vocational and technical education at present. With the rapid development of China's economic construction and the strong promotion of urbanization, the high level of ecological environment construction has accelerated, which provides a broad development space for the landscape industry. The ever-increasing construction speed of green space, greening, park system and urban greenway, on the one hand, has generated the demand for garden increment increasing year by year, and on the other hand, has stimulated the demand for transformation and renewal of garden stock. Driven by the dual demand of increment+stock, the landscape industry has ushered in a period of rapid growth. In the future construction of ecological cities in Shanghai and even the whole country, the demand for high-end technical and skilled talents in landscape architecture will increase significantly, and the landscape engineering technology specialty has a promising prospect.

Training objectives: this major is to cultivate students with good scientific and humanistic literacy, master the theoretical knowledge and professional skills of the landscape engineering technology specialty, have the ability to read the landscape engineering construction drawings and reasonably select landscape plants and engineering materials, the ability of landscape engineering construction technology and organization management, and strong computer application ability, and be able to skillfully use the landscape planning and design software for landscape engineering design; Medium and high-end skilled talents who can not only engage in the planning and design of small and medium-sized landscape in the area, green space and landscape architecture, but also be familiar with the knowledge of construction organization and management of landscape engineering, and can carry out landscaping and operation management of landscape plants, with sound personality and good professional ethics.

Main courses: based on the Basic Requirements for the Teaching of Landscape Engineering Technology in Higher Vocational and Technical Education, combined with the requirements of the talent training program for landscape engineering technology.
