IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF STUDENTS' KNOWLEDGE OF GRAPHIC GEOMETRY BY USING THE OBSCENE PROJECTION METHOD

Abstract

The article deals with the issue of improving the quality of students' knowledge and practical skills in engineering graphics in the context of reduced class hours (18 hours of lectures and 36 hours of practical classes) and distance learning. The results of long-term observations of students' work in the classroom with the teacher and independently during the course are presented. The problems of the educational process are highlighted: insufficient initial graphic training of students, different levels of personal spatial thinking of students, study of computer graphics, which reduced the teaching hours and shortened the curriculum of the course of engineering graphics. Recently there has been an intensive search for an effective model of organization of students' education in graphic disciplines. The optimal organization of independent work of students and its improvement play an important role in the acquisition of knowledge at a sufficient level for a future specialist. It is possible to achieve high results in solving this problem only if students are interested in studying. In order to increase the students' interest, student clubs are organized: "Geometric Modeling of Complex Problems in Engineering Graphics", "Solving Complex Problems in Engineering Graphics by Methods of Geometric Modeling", "Geometric Modeling of Technical Objects", etc. Students - members of the club receive extensive consultations on all issues of study, acquire additional knowledge, consolidate practical skills in construction and participate in university competitions in graphic disciplines. 

In particular, the seminar program of the club includes a detailed study of the projection method, namely, the method of oblique projection, with the help of which students can model the solution of many complex problems more optimally, as is shown in the article on individual modules of problem algorithms.

Keywords - engineering graphics, descriptive geometry, projection method, oblique projection, geometric object, image, complex problems, algorithm, modeling.
