Problems of training of future specialists in applied mechanics to use mobile and cloud technologies in their professional activities

Abstract

It is required for a specialist to have a developed high-level ICT competence, capability and ability to use existing software for solving problems using local resources and global computer networks, collaboration skills, the use of cloud and mobile technologies in engineering activity. In this regard, requirements for future engineer ICT training in universities of Ukraine are steadily growing. The role of mobile and cloud-oriented tools that should be used for professional and practical training of future specialists in applied mechanics and specifics of their use in the system of higher technical educational institutions of Ukraine has been defined. Analysis of educational programs, scientific literature, a survey of students and teachers and modeling have been conducted. The influence of cloud technology on methodical system of computer disciplines training for future professionals of applied mechanics has been defined. A model using Google Apps in training bachelors of applied mechanics and model of a typical access to cloud-oriented means of general scientific, educational and professional activities have been suggested. The current cloud services and mobile applications that can be used in the professional sphere of mechanical engineers have been studied. A model using Google Apps in training bachelors of applied mechanics and a model of a typical access to cloud-oriented means of general scientific, educational and professional activities have been offered. It has been proved that the use of Autodesk cloud services and their integration with cloud services Google is appropriate for future specialists in applied mechanics professional and practical training. The results of the study can be applied to vocational and practical training of students of other engineering specialties.
