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

For some minority engineering students,studies show that access to computers and technology growing up may not be as vast as theirmajority counterparts1. Hence, there may be a fear factor when introducing students totechnology2. Better understandings of what computers are how they work and how information issent and received is an important consideration toward
