THE METHOD OF FORMING ENGINEERING SKILLS OF ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS OF TECHNICAL DEVICES ON THE EXAMPLE OF STUDYING THE DISCIPLINE “ELECTRONICS AND CIRCUIT ENGINEERING”

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of preparing students for independent solution of practical problems in the course of studying the disciplines of general engineering. The authors draw attention to the difficulties that teachers face in the process of developing students’ skills in the synthesis of individual components of technical devices in practical classes and laboratory work. The article presents the provisions of the methodology that contributes to the formation of engineering skills of students at technical universities. In general, the methodology is a sequential implementation of three stages: theoretical, practical and final. Based on the use of advanced approaches, the theoretical stage makes it possible to implement the study of educational material with high efficiency of assimilation. The practical stage is aimed at obtaining primary skills in the analysis and synthesis of electrical devices. The final stage is based on the control of the level of acquired theoretical knowledge and the formation of the necessary skills. The description of the above technique is accompanied by examples of its application on the basis of the discipline “Electronics and circuitry engineering”. Thus, the use of the proposed methodology contributes to increasing the efficiency of the perception of theoretical material by students and acquiring the skills of synthesizing the simplest functional blocks of various technical devices. The materials of the article are of interest to teachers and graduate students and can be used by the teaching staff of technical universities in the process of developing students’ engineering skills.
