Training of IT designers within the federal project “Digital departments”

The paper considers the content of IT specialists training at the Department of Engineering and Computer Graphics, SUSU, “Design of mechanical engineering products using 3D modeling in Compass 3D program” within the “Digital Departments” project. This program focuses on studying the basics of computer geometric modeling on the basis of Compass 3D package to solve engineering problems in designing and constructing mechanical engineering products in all industries. In the course of training students learn standards for design documentation, elements of programming, scientific principles of creating curved lines and surfaces, elements of industrial design. Practical application of the studied material is carried out at the enterprise of the real sphere of economy. The conclusions include the positive experience of teaching the courses of computer graphics by the leading teachers of the department, development of students' creativity, and increase in modern 3D methods of designing mechanical engineering products as a result of the students' practical activity. The knowledge gained in IT training increases the competitiveness of SUSU graduates in the modern labor market, provides them with the opportunity to develop the skills necessary for successful participation in the digital transformation of industry and civil engineering.
