ASSESSMENT OF THE STATE OF THE BASIC LEVEL OF GEOMETRIC-GRAPHIC TRAINING IN TECHNICAL UNIVERSITIES ^{[№ 2 ' 2024]}
The training of competent engineering personnel is dictated, first of all, by the need to ensure the technological sovereignty of Russia. The basis for high-quality training of specialists in technical fields should be a block of geometric and graphic disciplines. The purpose of the study was to determine the criteria for ensuring the formation of a basic level of geometric-graphic training. Methods of simulation modeling and statistical processing of experimental data, involving visual and geometric methods of analysis, were used as the instrumental basis for the research. A study of literary sources has shown that in almost all technical specialties at universities in Russia and neighboring countries, the block of humanities disciplines is increasing at the expense of technical disciplines. These include the disciplines of the graphic cycle. Various methods of intensifying the educational process for a number of reasons do not achieve the desired result. This is clearly illustrated by the results of assessing the influence of the pre-university component of geometric-graphic training on the subsequent performance of technical students. An analysis of the influence of the results of the unified state exam on the results of teaching graphic cycle disciplines was carried out. The influence on learning outcomes of the amount of contact work at a university, its distribution over semesters, and the presence of “cocktail” disciplines in the geometric-graphic block was revealed. An assessment of the state of geometric-graphic training in technical universities was carried out using the example of Orenburg State University. We have proposed a method for forming the content of a block of geometric and graphic training for specialists in technical fields. It is necessary to highlight descriptive geometry, technical drawing and computer graphics in the block of courses, and these names of disciplines should be “legalized”. It is necessary to rely on the conditions for improving the quality of geometric and graphic training in universities, without which modern training of competent engineering personnel is impossible.

GEOMETRO-GRAPHIC LANGUAGE, AS A MEANS OF CREATING COMMUNICATIVE TECHNICAL CULTURE OF STUDENTS-BACHELORS ^{[№ 4 ' 2017]}
The urgent request of the industry for the qualified engineering personnel has led to the need for a critical analysis of current system of their training. The ongoing education reform, including the university education, resulted in losing prestige the educational ranking of was lost. The transition to a multi-stage higher education has led to the need of restructuring the whole system of the higher school, its adaptation to the new conditions. This is not a simple process, and as applied to engineering disciplines it is exacerbated by the flawed restructuring of the secondary school. The authors attempt to critically evaluate the current situation and identify possible ways of adjusting training methods for undergraduate students of technical specialities. It is revealed that the most important for engineering training are the disciplines of geometric-graphic cycle. The article presents that the training of creative specialists is impossible without the development of their geometric and graphic communicative culture with the help of the geometric-graphic language and its terminology. The process of forming a geometric-graphic knowledge, abilities and skills, as the components of communicative technical culture of professionals who have special technical and semantic relations is based on the development of students's geometric-graphic thesaurus. Students develop it in the phased multi-faceted study of the geometric-graphic discipline. The formation of the communicative technical culture of engineering students-bachelors is only possible through the activation techniques for mastering practical skills of geometric-graphical language. The design of didactic materials focused on the development of students' self-organized and creative academic activities and educators' ability to stimulate students' motivated and active participation in the study process will contribute to this goal. It is also important to organize a pre-University geometric-graphic training. It will aim at filling gaps in geometric and graphic knowledge that students get or miss to get in high schools.
