THE ROLE OF COMPUTER SIMULATION IN FORMING PROJECT ACTIVITY SKILLS OF BACHELORS IN BUILDING ENGINEERING

Abstract

The article discusses the importance of computer
simulation in shaping project activity skills of bachelors
in building engineering. The study uncovers the concept of
model, simulation and computer simulation as the basic
cognitive tools in scientific and practical research.
The paper analyzes the importance of didactic modeling
programs, it is noted that the simulation permits to increase
the intensity of training as it releases the essence of phenomena.
The simplified model excludes non-essential properties
that hinder students perception and exploration of the material.
Computer simulation helps students experience the
quintessence of the current process and the connection of
parameters. Indeed, building models, students reproduce the
signs of the object, its structure. Further experimenting with
the model interiorizes theoretical knowledge, creates conditions
for independent cognitive work and transition to similar
material.
