THE COURSE'S "THE TESTING OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES" TEACHING METHODOLOGY DEVELOPMENT IN DOMECTIC EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS - FRAGMENTS OF HISTORY

Abstract

Considered are the main milestones of history of the course "The testing of ICE " teaching in the universities from the inception of this course to the present days. It is shown that the specialists who took a training course in this academic discipline and gave it priority in their work got a particular importance at engine manufacturing enterprises, since they began to play the role of experts in assessing the progressiveness of a particular solutions while developing new and improving old designs of domestic internal combustion engines. The information on the main textbooks and teaching aids on this subject is provided. The painful issue of the initial basing of the taught material on the backlog of foreign sources of training is touched on, which after 100 years continues to dampen the scientific and pedagogical staff of the Kharkov school of engine building that already has rich own experience in all types of ICE testing. The analysis of the reasons for the drop in students' interest in self-study of modern educational literature on the ICE testing is carried out. It is noted that in the current situation in Ukraine and in the world, the revival of this interest will depend first of all on the ability to properly manage the vast experience gained in organizing and conducting engine tests at the Kharkiv Engine Design Bureau and the Head Specialized Engine Design Bureau, and create a new format of the local electronic tutorials not in the form of a copy of a regular printed publication, but in the form of a whole software training complex with specific presentation materials, photos and video examples in each topic.
