Dyrdina E.V. THE POTENTIAL OF STRUCTURAL CALCULATION GRAPHICAL METHODS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENGINEERING INTUITION IN FUTURE ARCHITECTS AND BUILDERSFormation of engineering thinking is a key moment in studying theoretical and construction mechanics. Visual methods of calculation of structures for development of engineering intuition in students of architectural and construction works. Methods of graphical statics, such as construction of force and rope polygons, provide development of understanding of distribution of force, skills of critical checking of digital calculations and development of "sensory constructions" through its geometry. At the same time, their use does not require deep mathematical training and special tools. When teaching mechanics, we are faced with the problem of growing roller model in construction design. Risks of "blind" trust in results of software packages without understanding of basic solutions are high. The purpose of the study was to substantiate advantages of using graphical methods in the near future and development of engineering science among students of architectural and construction organizations. Six didactic techniques aimed at development of engineering theory are proposed, including connection of theories with historical, use of heuristic methods, computer tools and their criticism, development of spatial thinking, problem-based learning and study of historical context. The pedagogical experiment involved 138 students of architectural training. Its results show that the use of graphic methods significantly improves the understanding of the work of structures and increases interest in the course. Thus, graphic methods have not lost their relevance and can effectively compete with the modern listed methods in the training of future architects and engineers.Key words: engineering thinking, engineering intuition, methods of teaching theoretical and construction mechanics, methods of graphic statics.
