TThe aim of this course is to provide students with fundamental engineering knowledge and skills related to the analysis, interpretation, and design of terrain within the scope of landscape engineering. The course focuses on enabling students to perceive and evaluate land in three dimensions through landform analysis, contour lines, slope and aspect analysis, and topographic sectioning techniques. Additionally, through cut-and-fill volume calculations and surface drainage systems, the course aims to integrate land grading decisions with technical implementation processes. In this context, students are expected to develop the ability to produce technical solutions for landscape design based on engineering principles, evaluate infrastructure systems, and address implementation processes in a holistic manner

The course addresses landform, topographic structure, and technical implementation processes in landscape engineering through an integrated approach. In the initial weeks, the concept of landform, interpretation of contour lines, three-dimensional terrain modeling and model-making exercises, and topographic sectioning techniques are introduced. In the following stages, slope and aspect map analysis, as well as slope calculation and interpretation, are covered to enhance students’ analytical evaluation of terrain. Mid-semester topics include grading and landform manipulation techniques, along with detailed cut-and-fill volume calculation methods (triangulation, coordinate method, grid method, borrow pit method, square grid method, zero elevation method, and cross-section method). In the final weeks, surface drainage systems and landform applications in parking and road design are addressed, emphasizing the relationship between land development decisions and infrastructure systems. Overall, the course enables students to relate slope, drainage, infrastructure, and technical systems through both drawing and calculation processes, thereby developing their capacity to produce technical solutions in landscape design.The in-term assessment consists of 3 assignments (20%), class participation and performance (5%), and a midterm exam (20%). The final assessment is based on the Final Exam (60%).Students retaking the course are required to complete all assignments, class participation/performance activities, and exams again, in accordance with the course's current assessment structure.
