The Academic Discipline “Computer Graphics” for the Open Education System

Abstract

The article is devoted to the development of the educational discipline “Computer graphics” for the open education system. It is shown that at the present stage the integrated discipline “Computer graphics” can absorb the theoretical material of the discipline “Descriptive Geometry” and the practical area of the discipline “Engineering Graphics”. Geometric modeling is considered It is noted that modern software solutions allow to simulate three-dimensional objects of almost any complexity. The requirement for an electronic geometric model of the detail is singled out: the detail model must be editable-retain its geometric integrity with changes in the values of size constraints, i.e. should be predictably correctly rebuilt when making changes to the values of size dependencies. A strategy for constructing an electronic geometric model of the detail is proposed. It is noted that the allocation of electronic geometric modeling as the foundation of geometric-graphic education provides constructive use of the developing possibilities of computer graphics. The content of the integrated educational discipline “Computer graphics” is described. The integrated educational discipline “Computer graphics” provides the following basic competencies for the students: to know and apply the theory of geometric modeling to create electronic geometric forms of objects of technology and technology and be able to create electronic technical and technological documentation using modern graphic technologies.
