Currently, the development of students' technological competencies has been a constant issue due to recent advances and easy access to technology. However, various studies have shown that university students lack these technological competencies, especially at the beginning of their academic education. The present cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach analyzed the attitude, knowledge, use and access of ICT by architecture students through the application of the adapted instrument of attitude, knowledge and use of ICT (ACUTIC). The results indicate that the students viewed the inclusion of ICT in education favorably; they also stated that they use office tools to a lesser extent, and search engines and social media to a greater extent. An important finding was to identify that the use of design software is higher than the level of knowledge they reported having. Research on accessibility and incorporation of architecture specific technologies is recommended.
