Significant Change

Globalisation is accelerating and with it rapid technological change has resulted in the environment being dramatically impacted by constant and significant change. The global job market requires excellent technical skills, so we must educate students for more sophisticated jobs. Today, engineers must be practical and creative, able to work with different people, be quick to solve problems and make critical business decisions, whilst being professional and ethical. Spatial visualisation skills play a significant role in engineering fields, particularly for mechanical engineering students whose fields rely heavily on visualisation. This paper presents the CAD course with computer graphics components that would help in enhancing students’ powers of visualisation using CAD applications.

Current State

This study’s urgency is determined by absence of serious researches in the usage area of «flipped» learning model (FLM) applied to engineering geometry and computer graphics (EGCG); by absence of scientifically-based, tested and implemented programs and learning materials for EGCG FLM; as well as by the need for development of new modern tools to support classroom work and forms of students’ individual work. The purpose of this study is to examine the current state of knowledge and practice of existing EGCG courses, using the FLM concept as the main pedagogical strategy. Research methods are pedagogical experiment, expert assessment, cluster analysis. Problem state: since 2012 the FLM approach has gained popularity not only in schools but also in engineering universities. FLM presents opportunities for solutions of complex pedagogic problems in engineering education, but creates some difficulties in model implementation preparing. Most of based on the FLM researches in the area of engineering education have been conducted on the basis of short-term studies, and on feedback from professors and students and their reviews. Theoretical and practical contribution of materials: this paper represents a synthesis of qualitative and quantitative researches on engineering courses using the FLM. The study has demonstrated that the issues of EGCG FLM have not been investigated in the scientific and methodological literature. Has been identified students relation to the FLM, as well as to the role of learning materials and professor’s personality in the FLM. Advantages and disadvantages of the FLM have been revealed, and recommendations on students training have been presented. Study significance: the study has proved the absence of scientifically-based, tested and implemented programs and learning materials for students learning on EGCG using FLM. To create reasonable theoretical bases for pedagogy in the area of EGCG FLM, as well as corresponding evaluation methods it is necessary to conduct further scientific researches examining various aspects related to practical implementation of long-term programs and learning materials. This paper’s materials can be useful for lecturers of technical universities.

Spatial Interpretation

This is a conceptual approach to knowledge acquisition at technical universities. The emphasis is on the consistent possession of knowledge: the acquisition of new and preservation of the existing ones. At the same time, the grapho-geometric component in technical education is one of the most important elements of fundamental (general engineering) education. It is carried out at the initial stage in the process of studying technical disciplines included in the relevant curricula. Applied geometry plays an important role in this process, and it includes such directions as descriptive geometry, analytic geometry, engineering graphics, and computer graphics that provide spatial interpretation of geometric objects and display them on a plane. This combination of subjects studied significantly enriches the geometric development within student's intellectual world.
