A new approach to teaching descriptive geometry at higher school from the perspective of through preparation of a modern specialist

The adaptation to a new design and manufacture technologies of products is related with necessity for forming а new of thinking of professionals. A more research should be given to learning 3D modeling. A description of processes of educational activities is presented in the form of contextual diagrams IDEF0 – models for preparing specialists at the Faculty of aircraft engines SSAU, its decomposition by type of training. The goals of the Engineering graphics department, in addition to knowledge of the creation 3D modeling, are learning the basics of document management and methods of standard models’ parameterization and their using. At the same time a number of problems is being solving: a gradual (from the beginning) familiarization with capabilities and a consequent acquisition of skills in an environment of modern integrated CAD / CAM / CAPP systems; an optimal solution of descriptive geometry, in particular, using and development of spatial imagination, the exact solution of the metric and positional problems; achievement the new level of geometrical-graphic preparation by using parametric models for performing 3D details, automated construction the drawings on a plane with GOST rules ESKD, which significantly reduces the routine work in creating technical documentation for the following departments. Realization of this approach in training specialists allows to use a 3D model constructions for engineering analysis of their functioning in the conditions of use, as well as to model a manufacturing process in the virtual space.
