Features of the Development of an Engineer’s Thinking in the Course of Training at a University (Using the Example of Studying the Discipline “Engineering Graphics”)

The article examines the process of developing an engineer’s thinking during the study of engineering graphics at a university. Relevance. The working conditions of a modern engineer require professional training. One of the disciplines of engineering training is descriptive geometry and engineering graphics, which develops the thinking of an engineer. The purpose of the study is the process of developing an engineer’s thinking during the study of descriptive geometry and engineering graphics. The research used theoretical methods of analysis, synthesis of module structure, synthesis and generalizations, knowledge control, practical methods of performing graphic tasks, methods of mathematical statistics for evaluating educational achievements, analysis of literary sources and educational literature, experiment. The provisions reached at the beginning of the study determine the theoretical significance and novelty. Thinking has forms and types of thinking. The engineer’s level of thinking is based on knowledge, combining theoretical and practical experience of life activity, which determines his thinking logic. The basis for the development of thinking is mental formations. In this process, it should be important to form the knowledge and quality of the engineer’s knowledge during training. The qualities of a student’s knowledge are revealed as a result of the assimilation and application of knowledge by a person in various types of activities. Engineering graphics develops thinking by means of forming knowledge, skills, and abilities, as a basis for conclusions corresponding to the theoretical level of the student’s specialty training. Descriptive geometry and engineering graphics  allows you to develop mental processes: perception, representation, imagination, memory, speech, etc.; qualities of knowledge: com-pleteness, depth, efficiency, flexibility, awareness; develop thinking: implies the development of qualities of thinking, modes of thinking,  forms of thinking, levels of thinking.  The practical significance is characterized by the conclusions of the study. Descriptive geometry and engineering graphics is an important discipline in the successful training of a future specialist, since as a result of its study, students acquire knowledge of the basics of design documentation, the ability to perform various types of design activities and read drawings, the skills of design documentation when studying other disciplines of the field of training, the competence of an engineer able to read and issue design documents for manufactured products. Descriptive geometry and engineering graphics develop thinking by means of formation of knowledge, skills, and abilities as the basis for conclusions corresponding to the theoretical level of the student’s specialty training. Descriptive geometry and engineering graphics allows you to develop mental processes: perception (in the process of studying theoretical material and practical performance of tasks on  engineering graphics), representation (a set of knowledge about the types of projection: central, orthogonal, axonometric) based on the  type of task to perform, imagination (to construct figures or details in a drawing, it is advisable to imagine and construct lines of connection in order to correctly construct projections), memory (knowledge of the requirements of the Unified System for Design Documentation allows  you to see the depicted types of design documentation, drawings of  parts, etc.), speech (characterized by terms specific to a particular specialty or discipline), etc.
