Using the Technical Experiment in the Computer Simulation Training for Prospecting Software Engineers

Abstract

In present work, a new technology of the prospective software engineers training in computer simulation is described. The technology provides carrying out comparative analysis of opportunities, productivity, and the accuracy of the reproduction of different computer simulation packages (CSP) on the basis of direct performance of the technical experiment results. Training process includes the principal stages: carrying out of the independent technical experiment; its simulation using of various CSP; comparison of the result of the tested CSP to the results of the experiment; models of debugging; detection of advantages and shortcomings of each involved CSP. As an example, in Open Modelica and Mathcad packages analysis of simulation opportunities of a problem of the motion of the body thrown at an angle to the horizon is carried out. As a result, assessment of the efficiency of each CSP used for the solution of an objective is made. When training prospective software developers the offered technology is the basis for further development of the modern standard in the field of computer simulation.
