Abstract
Over the most recent couple of decades, progressive advancements in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have altogether affected regular day to day existence. The web, advanced illustration tools, and software are clear models of this computerized transformation that has influenced the specific procedure of teaching architectural design. Architecture can be described as a technology-intensive discipline that utilizes technology, both in the process of designing and in its products, to achieve different objectives. In turn, technology transforms the discipline. The importance of technology to the discipline and to the practice of architecture has been demonstrated again and again throughout history. The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the impact of ICT on the teaching of architectural courses in three different polytechnics, (viz; The Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, and Gateway ICT Polytechnic, Igbesa) in Ogun State. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was carried out to sample of 200 students (NDII, HNDI, and HNDII) selected randomly through a proportional allocation from the Department of Architectural Technology to compare the use of ICT software such as AutoCAD and ArchiCAD to hand drawings for Architectural designs through the use of structured questionnaire. Empirical analysis from the result obtained showed that ICT has impacted positively on architectural education in tertiary institutions as evidenced from 92% of the total participants (students). However, the inferential analysis also buttressed the validity of the field survey carried out using Kruskal Wallis approach. Chi-square Statistic of 0.340, p-value 0.952>=0.05, indicates that ICT has significantly impacted positively on architectural education in tertiary institutions.
