AbstractComputer Aided Design (CAD) today plays an increasingly important role for interior architecture. 25 years ago, almost all interior architecture presentations are drawn on a paper with a pencil. Today CAD radically changes all these traditional drawing habits and it becomes an economical and technological requirement for interior architecture profession.In this study, the instructional methods used in CAD courses are analyzed according to “CIDA 2014 Student Learning Expectations” through student surveys.
