Assessing The Effectiveness of CAAD Education: A value-added approach

We have developed and implemented in our school a post-graduate CAAD course, over the last five years, which has been structured according to some problembased learning features, with the emphasis falling on the needs of the design process involved rather than on software categories. The development and implementation of such curriculum has been described in our early work. We describe in this paper part of the process of assessing the effectiveness of such approach, particularly through the use of value-added methods.
