本系於88學年成立招生，創系至今9年，設立宗冒在於培養環境規劃設計業界首屈一指的傑出從業人員，使他們能夠成為相關工程顧問公司最樂於聘用的環境規劃設計人才。本系依據培育傑出環境規劃設計人才的總體發展目標，並配合現有師資和設備優勢，逐漸形塑出以下之重點發展特色;融合都市計畫與景觀建築;強調心手合一的實作訓練;加強手工與電腦繪圖技術訓練;落實產學合作，關懷社區;配合國家未來發展，尊重生態，追求永績。
本研究為針對產學合作模式應用於景觀設計課程，所依循的理論背景進行探討，主要包括:情境學習理論、體驗學習理論、產學合作理論。研究主要為依據產學合作計畫與本校景觀設計課程的結合與否，採「問卷調查」的方式，探討其對於學生六項核心能力的影響，分別為:(1)人文美學、創意思考及永續環境關懷能力;(2)景觀與都市規劃設計能力; (3)景觀與都市空間議題發掘、整合分析及問題解決能力;(4)數位媒體與資訊科技整合應用能力; (5)專業倫理、溝通協調及團隊合作能力; (6)景 觀與都市規劃設計國際思潮掌握及自主學習能力。
研究結果顯示，受測者認為有置入產學合作計畫的課程相較於無置入產學合作計畫的課程，人文美學、創意思考及永續環境關懷能力、景觀與都市空間議題發掘、整合分析及問題解決能力、專業倫理、溝通協調及團隊合作能力、景觀與都市規劃設計國際思潮掌握及自主學習能力，有較佳且顯著的學習成效，景觀與都市規劃設計能力、數位媒體與資訊科技整合應用能力，無有較佳且不顯著的學習成效。未來的研究建議，建議相關教育單位，後續能針對產學合作的模式進行課程的安排，增加學生在學期間與產業實務的磨合，提升學生本身的核心能力。

The Department has been open for enrollment for nine years since 1999， aiming to develop top-notch professionals for the environment planning and design industry. Graduatesof the de-Partment can expect to become the preferred choices of development consultation companies. Based on its consolidated goal of developing top-notch environment planning and design tal-ents，the Department utilizes its advantages in teaching faculties and facilities to plan the following key developments: integrate the programs of urban and landscape design， emphasize practical hands-on training， reinforce manual and computer-aided drafting skills， substantiate industrial and academic cooperation in care for the communities， and respect the ecology by pursuing sustainable development in coordination with the development of the nation.
This research aims to explore the backgrounds of the theories used for teaching of landscape design programs in the industrial-academic coop models， including theories of scenario learning， experience learning， industrial-academic coop， and service learning. Thisresearch investigates how integration of the industrial-academic co-op program with the School' s landscape design program affects the six core competences of students through questionnaire survey. The six core competence areas include， (1)The ability to identify， cultural aesthetics， carry out creative thinking， and care for the sustainability ofthe environment; (2) Theability for landscape and urban planning and design; (3) The ability to explore landscape and urban space issues， consolidate and analyze information， and solve problems; (4) The ability to consolidate applications of digital media and information technology; (5) The ability to maintain professionalism， communicate， and facilitate teamwork; (6) The ability to investigate intern ational trends in landscape and urban planning and design and carry out autonomous learning.
The results of this research show that the surveyed subjects consider that better learning effect was yielded in the following areas when an industrial-academic co-op program is integrated: the ability to identify， cultural aesthetics， carry out creative thinking， and care for the sus-tainability of the environment; the ability to explore landscape and urban space issues， consolidate and analyze information， and solve problems; the ability to maintain the following areas did not reach the significant level: the ability for landscape and urban planning and design and the ability to consolidate applications of digital media and information technology. We recommend that the education authorities can make arrangements for special programs in the industrial-academic coop modes to provide opportunities for the students to fit into the industry during school years and upgrade the students' core competence.
