Abstract

Educational methods of the architecture programs require regular review and continued development to be consistent with the changing standards of the architectural engineering sciences. Although evaluation has an essential role in the education process to make judgments about the quality of the students and their products, few studies have been interested in developing an evaluation method to evaluate the architectural design. Previous studies confirmed the need to develop standards-based evaluation models to evaluate the students' architectural designs in all design stages, as well as an objective weighting method to quantify the weight of each evaluation criterion compared to other evaluation criteria. In this context, this research proposes a criteria-based evaluation model that is oriented to evaluate the students' products of working drawings in the construction documents phase. This research concluded that using a criteria-based evaluation model can achieve a good, accurate, and fair evaluation of the working drawings and can decrease the deviation among multi-evaluators as well as leading to improve the quality of students’ working drawings.
