Design and Engineering Training in Engineering Graphics: Past, Present, Future

This article presents the integrated approach of the professional competencies of students of the correspondence form of evening-technical college training. The essence of the approach is the use of traditional forms of education, complemented by innovative forms: interactive content of descriptive geometry teacher in multimedia environments, the use of graphical editors in the learning process. These developments were due to the orientation of modern education on the priority development of creative qualities of professional engineer, the development of which, according to many experts, is possible in a graphical environment [3; 9]. On the other hand, there are the problems of mastering the course of descriptive geometry for the students in absentia-evening form of a technical college education related to insufficient spatial representations. The intensification of the educational process, especially training programs with restrictions on hours of classroom courses assimilation, brought to the fore the search for ways to solve this problem. The rapid development of the Information Society have significantly revised teaching methods, individualizing the educational trajectory. Implementation of the developed pedagogical impact of the measures has shown that the uptake rate of descriptive geometry substantially improved without increasing the teaching hours.

Geometric Education’s Problems Displaying in the “Geometry and Graphics” Journal

2020

The “Geometry and Graphics” journal is celebrating its eight-year birthday in 2020. It was set up in 2012. From the moment of its set up until 2016, it was the first period of the journal's life, when pedagogical papers were published three times more than the geometrical ones. In 2016 the journal was put in the list of the State Commission for Academic Degrees and Titles in specialties 05.01.01 and 13.08.00. It was the second period in the journal's life. The number of scientific and pedagogical papers have become approximately equal, which indicates a more careful selection of papers for publication in the journal, as well as introduction the apparatus for independent peer review sorting out papers not falling outside the level of the State Commission for Academic Degrees and Titles’ journal. In 2018 the specialty 13.08.00 was removed, only Engineering Geometry and Computer Graphics remained – the third period in the journal's life began, which was characterized by a sharp fall in the number of pedagogical papers, and little wonder. This trend has been demonstrated in the present paper. As a result, if in the first period pedagogical papers in the journal were equal to 3/4 of papers’ total number, in the third period pedagogical papers number had become only 1/4, that is, had decreased by 3 times. From 2019 (No. 4) Pedagogy has returned to the journal – the fourth period has started. Now in the journal there were two specialties again. When the pedagogical direction was again included in the list, the situation related to publication of pedagogical papers in the journal improved, and on the example of three recently published journal numbers, we can say that they began to publish in the journal technical and pedagogical papers in equal measure. This paper aims to show to the reader the scope of pedagogical issues in papers published in the journal and related to geometric education.

The question of teaching staff readiness to digitalize the educational process is considered in this paper. Digital education is a prerequisite for training of specialists meeting the requirements for the XXI century digital economy. There are a number of challenges in introducing digital learning, including those in engineering education. Digitalization of the technical subject area is very costly process that has its own specifics and requires developers to possess not only professional competencies related to a particular discipline, but also to be advanced in the arear of information and communication technologies. Besides modern teaching and laboratory facilities, and computer systems for various purposes, an important condition for promoting of digitization in subject teaching is teaching staff willingness to improve their teaching skills along with fluency in modern digital technologies. As an example of subject teaching, in this paper are considered informatization and digitalization of basic geometric and graphic training for students at technical higher education institutes. The analysis is carried out from the point of view related to preparation of the academic teaching staff for creation and implementation of the educational environment that meets the requirements for dynamically developing design as a type of engineering activity. The scheme for realization of mixed learning has been presented, which introduction is determined by students' individual work implementation, and the process of students' online geometric-graphic training during self-isolation for COVID-19 prevention has been described. An analysis of teacher's activity content increase in the full online training mode has been carried out. Has been presented a set of practical measures acting to raise the chair’s teaching staff qualification and providing readiness to solving urgent problems of students’ learning through the digital educational environment. As a conclusion of the study, it is stated that in digitalization conditions the most successful form for implementing of basic geometric and graphic training is the form of blended learning.
