项目进展情况       

 自本项目立项后，首先对本人正在访学的美国康奈尔大学(Cornell University)农业与生命科学学院（College of Agriculture and Life Science) 综合植物学部( School of Integrative Plant Science)园艺学科(Horticulture Section）开设的课程信息进行了网站上查阅和搜集， 同时还咨询了园艺系的华人教授，初步了解了康奈尔大学园艺学科本科生课程的设置情况，并查找了园艺栽培生产相关的教材。同时也从加州大学戴维斯分校（UCDAVIS）网站上搜集了该校园艺专业及其开设的课程的相关信息。

   康奈尔大学目前没有单独开设园艺（Horticulture）专业，园艺学只是作为植物科学（plant science)专业的一个方向，同时也作为副修专业（minor）供本科生辅修。除了plant science专业以外的学生都可以辅修园艺专业。辅修园艺（Minor in Horticulture）的学生需完成15个学分（credit）的课程，包括2门必修课（7个学分）：一门是4学分的《Horticulture Science and System》(园艺科学与系统）（该门课带实验课，其中2学分为理论课，2学分为实验课；该课程我去听过课，主要介绍具有经济价值的园艺植物的种类及其生产情况，有时会请不同的教授讲解各自研究领域的专题，如我的导师Neil Mattson就讲过温室园艺植物的生产原理与技术，实验课就是带学生参观了康奈尔的温室），另一门课为3学分的《The Nature of Plant》（植物的本质）；还要选修8个学分的2000  level以上的园艺学科的课程。另外还设有植物艺术方向的园艺辅修专业（Minor in Horticulture with a Focus in the Botanical Arts），与前述的园艺辅修专业相同，需要学习7学分的2门必修课，另外还要加上8个学分的下述课程：园艺艺术（The Art of Horticulture）、 植物插图的强化学习（Intensive Study in Botanical Illustration）和单独的创造性的毕业设计（Individual Study for a creative capstone project that integrates the student’s learnings and offers the chance to produce original work）。 该辅修专业类似于我校的园林专业。康奈尔大学园艺学科开设有风景园林建设（Landscape Architecture）本科专业。另外，康奈尔食品科学系开设有葡萄栽培和生态（Viticulture and Enology）专业，也会有园艺学科的教授开设的课供该专业的学生选用。
