Using the «Abris» Business Game Technique in the Study of Engineering Disciplines

Abstract

The article deals with the use of the business game «Abris» in order to teach students how to plot an outline of a land plot using photos of a quadcopter, with the possibility of viewing each part of the plot in a more fragmented and more detailed way. The technique of the game is that the student needs for a limited time to draw the outline of the area, which was shot using a quadcopter. The student is given a plot of 300 x 300 meters of settlement type. The survey was conducted on top of the whole plot, as well as in parts, for a more accurate assessment of the situation. In the form of a business game there is an opportunity to explain to student-surveyors the definition of "outline", to teach them to draw and understand, to point out all the nuances of performing creative work. The game was developed aiming at students-surveyors studying the subject of "topographical and land survey drawing". Today, engineering graphics trains not only engineers, but really broad-minded specialists who have the developed spatial thinking and imagination, which allows them to solve many problems, finding various options, and even the most extraordinary ones.
