Peculiarities of Engineering Thinking Formation Using 3D Technology

Abstract

The problem of the research is due to the need to create a special engineering style of thinking within the digital educational space, which implies readiness for research, creativity, responsibility, and supported by modern high-tech tools in order to provide resources for solving the problems of Industry 4.0. The purpose of the study is to theoretically substantiate and experimentally verify the effectiveness of using 3D technologies for the formation of engineering thinking as an important competence of a high-demand specialist in the digital society. The research methodology is a theoretical and methodological analysis and generalization of fundamental scientific works in the field of digitalization of education, training of engineering and technical personnel, three-dimensional modeling, application of software for the development of thinking. The pedagogical experiment uses the example of assessing the formation of personality qualities and skills that form the basis of engineering thinking. The sign criterion G is used as a method of statistical processing and verification of the reliability of the obtained results. Research results. The authors clarify the concept "engineering thinking" in the context of training specialists for Industry 4.0 and substantiate the potential of 3D technologies for the formation of engineering thinking. They formulate the principles and supporting directions of the mentor of students' research activities in 3D modeling. The authors present a system of work on an interdisciplinary project underlining skills significant for the formation of engineering thinking. The authors come to the conclusion that the use of 3D-technologies in training creates additional conditions for the development of qualities and skills that ensure the integrity of engineering thinking formation as a universal competence of a high-demand professional of the future.

[Retracted] Display and Analysis of Virtual 3D Technology in Interior Design

“…In rhinoplasty, the simulated 3D image is converted into the operation plan of the operating room in a quantitative way, which is helpful to quantitatively translate the patient target in dorsal reduction rhinoplasty to the operating room and patients in the form of preoperative markers [19]. In the digital education space, the engineering thinking mode is used to formulate the principles and support directions of student research activity tutors in three-dimensional modeling [20]. The use of 3D printing technology in medicine is aimed at determining whether medical students are willing to use this technology to obtain accurate anatomical models to help them learn [21].…”

Enhancing research skills of schoolchildren through 3D modeling

“…The findings are scientifically and methodologically complementary to the work of O. N. Vasilyeva, N. V. Konovalova [33], and N. A. Bushmeleva et. al., since they rely on specific lesson planning and corresponding systems of assignments, and principles for constructing interdisciplinary projects [13]. The authors tried to take into account and adapt the results of Ch.-Y.…”

“…Methods for developing engineering competencies using 3D technologies are being tested [11]. Particular studies on the use of 3D tools in biology, chemistry [12], and the training of future teachers [13] are presented. But at the same time, in the Russian educational system, there are practically no scientifically based methodological approaches to the use of 3D modeling technology in the process of studying natural science disciplines, aimed at developing the research skills of schoolchildren.…”
