TECHNOLOGY OF PROJECT TRAINING IN THE SECTION “MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DRAWING” OF THE COURSE “ENGINEERING GRAPHICS”

Project-based learning is an educational technology, the center of which is the student, and the goal is to form his independence, initiative and creativity. These qualities are developed through his own actions in the process of learning interesting and significant topics for further professional activity. The project-based learning method is more applicable to disciplines with a practical focus. Within the framework of this article, one of the ways to introduce project-based learning into the discipline of Engineering Graphics at a technical university is considered. As you know, project training is called educational technology, the center of which is the student himself, and the goal is to form his independence, initiative and creativity. These qualities are developed through his own actions in the process of learning interesting and significant topics. Such topics exist when studying the discipline “Engineering Graphics” in the section “Mechanical Engineering”, in particular, when studying the topic of developing design documentation for assembly units. Acquisition of skills in working with such engineering and graphic information, in particular additive technologies, at this stage of studying the subject, such principles of project training are observed as problematicity – inclusion of a thought process to solve a given situation and integrativeness; – connection of formed knowledge systems and specific training rules. Using the example of the section “Machine-building drawing”, it is shown how you can combine the study of the topic “Development of design documentation for assembly units” with the design of a product and the manufacture of its prototype on a 3D printer. The proposed approach makes it possible to implement such principles of project-based learning as problemativeness – the inclusion of a thought process to solve a specific practical problem – and integrativity – the connection of formed knowledge systems and specific learning rules.
