Abstract

This paper reports the findings of assessing the impact of current digital-based architecture curriculum in architecture at KFUPM on studentsi learning primarily from studentsi perspectives. The paper addresses both generic and specific impacts of current digital-based architecture curriculum on studentsi learning. The specific impacts include: level of achieving better understanding of the architectural issues of buildings, and impacts of media qualities on understanding architecture. The paper introduces a performance improvement plan aimed at enhancing studentsi learning in the digital-based architecture curriculum and to accommodate the evolving nature of information technology applications in the building and construction industry
