Engineering Education, 2006 The Effects of Computer Automation on the Design Development Process in ArchitectureAbstractComputer automation and information technology has changed the design development processin architecture. Students no longer use a transparent, linear design process facilitated through thecraft of hand drawing. Instead, the design process has become increasingly fragmented andhidden through the use of this new technology. The dilemma we face as educators is: one, howto teach and assess this new process in the context of existing ideas of how students experienceand acquire design knowledge, and two, how to prepare students who will work in a professionthat is increasing embracing the use

it is taught by a team of three architects,one of whom specializes in environmental controls, and one structural engineer, and the size ofthe class varies from 30 to 45 students. Both architecture and architectural engineering studentsare required to take this course. The course requirements are somewhat different for the twomajors, and often less than a quarter of the class is AE students. We have come to call this theComprehensive Semester because it not only requires the use of information learned throughoutthe curriculum, but also incorporates a studio, a technology seminar, and a management courseinto a tightly knit whole. Throughout the semester, all students integrate architectural design withmechanical and structural systems design

The architectural engineering curriculum that the university offers isaccredited by both the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) andmeets guidelines set out by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) foraccreditation. However, there are drawbacks with respect to time when considering theprogram. The degree that KFUPM offers requires 139 credit hours plus a two monthinternships. Instead of the typical four year undergraduate program, this program alsorequires an additional fifth year 1. See Table 1 for the five year degree plan for KFUPM. As early as 1973, programs were already developing for a joint education betweencivil engineering and architecture. During the 1970’s, Robert Mark

Therewas no existing course in our curriculum to cover the topic of culture and design. Therefore, it isnecessary to develop a new
