Improving methods of studying graphic disciplines for students of technical specialties and directions

In modern development of digital technologies education faces a difficult task: translation of previously accumulated knowledge and meeting the demands of the digital future in the XXI century. Digital transformation of education involves changing the ways and methods of teaching, as well as changing the subjects of education - the teacher and the student. A convenient tool of influence between a student and a teacher is a modular virtual educational platform (for example, Moodle), which allows studying the theoretical material, conducting practical classes and examinations. Combination of various technological techniques confirms the availability of their implementing for improving the quality of education in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standards, allows improving the quality of education in the context of a dynamically developing society. Certain approaches to the graphic training of students have been stated. Modeling the geometric shapes on the screen, in contrast to the traditional approach, develops the intellectual, cognitive and creative abilities of students, in most cases having insufficient graphic training. Working with graphics packages is impossible without the knowledge that is acquired in practical classes of Engineering Graphics. Actually, at the university engineering training is aimed at developing the skills of creating an information model of an object and forming project documentation based on it. Introducing the innovative methods and forms of education creates a new strategy of vocational training in a technical university. When studying the sections of mechanical engineering drawing, computer visibility allows to see the technical forms of the details, gives an idea of the manufacturing technology, control and assembly of products, which will help the student to correctly perform cuts, sections of parts, correctly apply the dimensions on the drawings. There have been illustrated the examples of using engineering graphics in the technological processes of manufacturing the soundproof hood “KAPONISTR” for outboard boat motors. It has been inferred that the computer visual aids are important in training the engineers by using active teaching methods.
