Abstract

Four learning experiments aiming to verify how much different design computing education methods produce different results are described in this paper: an undergrad software-oriented course, an undergrad project-based course, a post grad course with a hybrid teaching approach and a project-based Computer-Aided Architectural Design, CAAD, post grad diploma program.
