A CAD program with solid modeling capabilities was used as the primary instructional media for a graduate level architectural design studio. The objective of the studio was to enhance design education by use of the CAD tool. A series of projects were designed to utilize CAD most effectively without sacrificing complexity and depth of educational content. The experiment identified several pedagogical advantages of CAD for design education and also some problems that have to be resolved to take maximum advantage of these tools.
