Integration of content and technologies of teaching within framework of geometrical-graphic training of students

In this paper the problem of geometric-graphic preparation of civil engineering students is considered. The development of the integrative educational discipline "Descriptive geometry, engineering and computer graphics", implemented within the foundation part of the higher educational specialised program "Construction" is proposed. The prerequisites of the integrative approach in accordance with innovations in engineering design and modern requirements for the project culture of future graduates are discussed. Possible methods and pedagogical technologies for implementing the approach are considered. The manifestations of the integrative approach are shown at the innovative organization of the educational process, creating conditions for the functioning of the learning environment for the formation of professional competencies in students corresponding to the requirements of real design and engineering activities. An example of a complex task for the design of a building structure is given, the results of which allow one to assess the level of the students' competences, formed within the framework of graphic preparation.
