APPLICATION OF SEMI-NATURAL MODELLING METHODS WHEN TEACHING THE DISCIPLINE "THEORY OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES"
The article discusses the application of methods of semi-natural modeling in teaching the discipline «Theory of internal combustion engines». In the process of semi-natural modeling, the advantages of mathematical and field modeling are successfully combined, and the optimal interaction between computational and full-scale experiments can be achieved. The methodological foundations of teaching the discipline for students of technical specialties with the practical application of laboratory research of internal combustion engines have been developed. Studying the engine in practical exercises on the basis of the stand will contribute to the development of students' professional skills and abilities, which will be further used by them in their professional activities.
