Abstract
The importance of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been accelerating since 2005, and until now because of its advantages and many capabilities that far exceed the traditional CAD programs. This is stimulating many educational institutions to integrate this new technology in their curriculums both at the level of design studios and computer courses. These are computer-aided design courses that support basically the design process through the development of students' skills in digital architectural drawing. The current research tries to develop a computer course that is titled with Computer for Environmental Design and has been taught to new students at the Faculty of Environmental Design (FED) at King Abdulaziz University (KAU). The aim of this phase of development began since 2010 is to address three issues, the first is the need to improve the three-dimensional applications and search for the best software is easy to learn to get high quality as quickly as possible. The second issue is the need to overcome the problem of editing and updating drawings produced by CAD that takes a lot of time and effort and negatively affect the accuracy level of students' projects. The third is the need to integrate with the design studios of FED where Revit has become a basic program used in producing three-dimensional drawing. This research is trying to employ a basic skills provided by the Architectural Revit whereby all 2D and 3D drawings of a project are fully produced in speedy time and high quality. A training program was fully designed that integrates these skills into the course to produce a final high quality product. The program was implemented in its new version to students in the second semester in the academic year 2015-2016. The course was evaluated through a questionnaire to measure students' opinions and impressions toward the course at the end of the semester and then their responses were statistically analyzed. The results showed the strength and significance of the positive impact of the new skills added to the course.
