They are used to measure the improvement of students's competence in applying structural design of a one storey building in respect to the using of CAD as a teaching media. Both theses were conducted four times, each before and after presentation of the subject matter using CAD. T test shows significant improvements of student's learning achievement due to the use of CAD as a teaching media.
