Abstract :The fact that the practice of BIM has turned into a global trend; has also made BIM a significant constituent in architectural education. Computer aided design courses have long been integrated into the curriculum because of the progress of design in digital platforms and the benefits it compromises. Schools of Design exploit BIM along with other current programs. The study compares the fundamentals contributing to learner progress of architecture undergraduate students at two universities in Turkey practising BIM-based courses which intend to help students recognize the rationale and the benefits of BIM and to raise awareness of using BIM-based software. The results of the practices by the end of week eight and modelling comprising final submissions at the end of the semester were both evaluated in relation to participant reports. The evaluation includes how BIM-based education contribute to architectural project design.
