One of the skills that architecture students should be acquainted with before entering university is building drawing and modeling skills which will be taught in these basic courses. The main purpose of this study is investigating the effectiveness of basic courses in new and old syllabi of Bachelor of Architecture in improving drawing skills and modeling of Architecture students.The research method in this study is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of method it is descriptive-analytical and causal-comparative. Statistical society of two groups of 35 students of the second semester of architecture students of Azad University of Urmia was considered in the second semester of the last educational course with the old syllabus and the second semester of the first educational course with the new syllabus.The results show that drawing and modeling skills training in the old syllabus in the first semester, although done separately by different professors, but given more hours of classes and the possibility to perform more drawing skills and modeling of students, has upgraded more than the new syllabus. At the same time, the consistency of training these skills in the new syllabus and the possibility of training them in combination has been a positive feature of the new syllabus, but due to the short hours allocated to training the skills, the quality of training has reduced.
