Integration of Manual and Computer Graphics in the Process of Studying the Discipline «Engineering and Computer Graphics»

A number of topical problems related to geometric and graphic training of students of chemical directions of training a technical university in the study of the discipline "Engineering and computer graphics" are considered. Among these problems, one of the important is the weak basic graphic training of students, including due to the lack of manual drawing in secondary schools and professional educational organizations in the era of global digitalization and the active use of computer-aided design systems in the educational process. Key words: quality of education, engineering graphics, computer graphics, drawing, three-dimensional modeling, KOMPAS-3D, end-to-end graphic preparation. A study conducted in 2024 at the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education "Yaroslavl State Technical University" (Yaroslavl) at the Department of Descriptive Geometry and Engineering Graphics among students of the Institute of Chemistry and Chemical Technology is described in order to determine the impact of manual drawing on the quality of graphic training of students in conjunction "sketching-manual drawing-computer graphics and three-dimensional modeling" and determine the place and role of manual drawing at present. As a result of the study, students are faced with difficulties when performing practical work both when sketching and manual mechanical engineering, and when using only software products for three-dimensional modeling and creating associative drawings and specifications. Methods have been developed to enhance the effectiveness of this discipline's educational process by harmoniously combining traditional manual drawing techniques with the creation of graphic documents in the KOMPAS-3D CAD system. Justifications are given for the need to form a regional model of end-to-end geometric and graphic training "School College - University”, which makes it possible to optimally approach the process of forming the content of educational disciplines at all levels of education and, thereby, improve the quality of training of university graduates.
