Much is said about the requirements for students to successfully study the discipline (initial preparation, ability to work with information, quick acquisition of skills in specialized programs), but it is also worth highlighting the qualities necessary for a teacher to ensure a successful educational process: the ability to conduct an electronic training course , communication with students indirectly through special educational platforms, the ability to adapt to new challenges of the modern world (introduction of e-learning, the COVID-19 pandemic, presentation of material using examples understandable to modern students). \u0000 \u0000Modern demands on engineers and designers are high - they need to have a wide range of knowledge and skills to effectively carry out design work. Competent use of graphics programs and applications, as well as the ability to work with 3D models are just some of the key competencies in this area. The development of geometric-graphic training allows students to master these skills already at the training stage, which gives them an advantage when searching for work and increases their competitiveness in the labor market.","PeriodicalId":426623,"journal":{"name":"Geometry & Graphics","volume":"9 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141804375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the wide variety of quality assurance issues, competent and result-oriented approaches to assessing the effectiveness (quality) of training are distinguished. It is noted that there are many questions for discussions, however, it is obvious that in the same case, the main role is played by monitoring and audit on the basis of a description of the expected learning outcomes. According to the Federal State Educational Standard, the graduate must be able to solve the “problems of design procedures” correctly, in accordance with the requirements of regulatory documents, to draw up design documentation, use computer and information technologies, and automated design tools. This is the basis of the notorious competency - based approach to training, in which the requirements of certain employers, and not the scientific justification of the existence of the necessary knowledge, skills that do not deny the possessions, are dominated. The situation is described in which the St. Petersburg professional community first encountered a similar approach to training. There is a contradiction between the principles of D.V.

After all, geometry studies points, lines and surfaces, but if you look closely, any drawing consists of points, lines and surfaces. It is not difficult to notice, so it is difficult to refute. The clarity of the drawings for beginners to learn something is the most important help for understanding the text. From the clarity of the school with its drawings in textbooks, the first step is taken to abstraction: the study of exclusively points and flat geometric shapes that are included in planimetry. After studying the names of geometric shapes, the student begins to study the laws of construction, to study various theorems, to prove them, to apply these proofs to other, more complex theorems. Here comes into play a phenomenon that can be called heuristic thinking based on logical constructions. The article also shows the use of Olympiads – urban and All-Russian – to further improve the development of heuristic thinking among students in order to replenish the departments of geometric profiles of universities as a result, as well as replenish our country with scientists in the direction 2.5.1 — \"Descriptive geometry and computer graphics.

The article presents this related task of constructing a plane, as well as building a straight line using a sphere. The basis for constructing a plane and a straight line at certain angles to the projection planes is the application of a contiguous cone of rotation to an arbitrarily specified sphere. The same method is already used to construct a straight line and a plane to a given plane of general position, taking into account that this plane is tangent to some given surface. All constructions of linear surfaces are based on the principle of specifying three guides and three conditions limiting each of the generators in relation to the specified guides. The condition of passing the guide at certain angles to the surfaces expands the possibilities of designing ruled surfaces almost indefinitely.","PeriodicalId":426623,"journal":{"name":"Geometry & Graphics","volume":"47 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141805292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Putin signed a decree on the reform of higher education. Now it is a pilot project, which will be tested in several universities for three years. It is about the transition of engineering training from bachelor's degree to specialization.

So, earlier in the works [18; 20], a geometric method of constructing the results of reflections was described, which was implemented mathematically in the article [38] using the principles of analytical geometry [6; 11–14; 30]. The obtained analytical equations of the reflection results were visualized in the Wolfram Mathematica [24] program with the ability to dynamically change the parameters of the mirror and the reflected object. However, in the listed works, only cases of reflection on the plane were considered. In this study, attention is paid to a more complex case — reflection in three-dimensional space. \u0000 \u0000The article considered the reflection of a point from surfaces of the second order: a cylinder, a cone, a single-cavity and double-cavity hyperboloids, a sphere, elliptical and hyperbolic paraboloids, and from a torus — a surface of the fourth order. As before, the reflection result obtained in each of the cases is accompanied by a program code for Wolfram Mathematica, which allows the reader to independently simulate the reflection process with different initial parameters. \u0000 \u0000In addition, the relationships between the results obtained were analyzed — both the relationships between the results of various three-dimensional reflections, and the relationship of the results of three-dimensional reflections with the results of similar plane reflections. In particular, on the basis of this, a hypothesis was formulated about the relationship between the curvature of the Gaussian mirror and the dimension of the object obtained as a result of reflection. \u0000 \u0000Based on the results of the work, conclusions were drawn and prospects for further research were outlined. One of them is to obtain an analytical mechanism for describing complex geometric surfaces using a set of simpler objects.

The construction of solid-state models begins with the modeling of simple geometric bodies: a prism, a pyramid, a body of rotation. This allows students to focus on practicing shaping operations, and to better navigate the toolbars. Then, students consolidate their knowledge and skills in building models of more complex shapes, similar in design to mechanical engineering parts of two classes: \"body of rotation\" and \"non-body of rotation\".
