The Landscape Computer Designer Training Program at Shandong Agricultural University has been conducted nationwide since 1999. Through a one-month intensive training session, students systematically master computer-aided design technology and gain the ability to work independently. The training materials have been refined and revised multiple times after six years of practical use and are based on the lecture notes of the lead instructors. This book is suitable for designers in the landscape industry to self-study computer drawing technology. When used for teaching in regular universities or vocational and technical colleges, it can be scheduled for 40-60 classroom hours.
