DIDACTIC TOOLS AND APPROACHES BASIC GEOMETRIC AND GRAPHIC TRAINING IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CONCEPT OF CONCURRENT ENGINEERING
The integrative multidisciplinary nature of design activities on the basis of computer 3D-modeling technologies in parallel engineering (CE/PLM-methodology) requires modernization of geometric-graphic training of specialists in the field of engineering and technology. On the basis of complex application of methodological approaches and didactic means adequate to CE/PLM, the basic organizational and pedagogical conditions for the model of General engineering basic geometric and graphic education, invariant to the directions of training of specialists are identified. Updating of its content is carried out by intra - and interdisciplinary integrated educational programs in cooperation between departments. The task of improving the productivity and quality of training without increasing the number of classroom time is solved by active learning technologies with the use of interactive electronic educational resources based on graphical means of presenting training information and CAD-systems. Activation of cognitive activity is carried out through the use of a wide range of multimedia techniques. Grip training information in graphical form reduces the time of its perception in the 3÷7 times. Presentation of information in the form of structural and logical schemes with frames is structuring of professional knowledge. Active forms of teaching are used as well as problem-oriented and project-organized teamwork. They involve learning activities that can not only assimilate the content of learning, but also manage its assimilation.
