This article is devoted to the analysis of the quality of perception of educational information in the lessons of descriptive geometry and engineering graphics at the State Agrarian University of the Northern Urals. The problems related to the level of initial knowledge of students, which affect the successful assimilation of educational material, are considered. The article suggests effective methods of work in the classroom aimed at developing communication skills, productive speech skills and increasing motivation to study the subject. Special attention in this topic is paid to the use of interactive techniques and modern technical means and information and communication technologies in the educational process. The results of the study show that the use of the proposed methods and tools contributes to a more successful assimilation of educational material and increases the motivation of students to study the subject. The difficulty of obtaining a high-quality education currently lies in the adaptation of future engineering specialists to the introduction into the educational environment of the university and in the study of new subjects that were not in the basic school curriculum. Depending on the speed of the student's adaptation to the educational process in higher educational institutions, the result will be obtained from studying this discipline, which provides for listening, recording and performing drawings of lecture material using a computer. And also perform practical work in a special workbook, take time to prepare for classes on your own. Currently, there is an opinion that the discipline of descriptive geometry has no practical value in connection with the development of computer technology and the apparatus of linear algebra, but the activities of specialists in the field of science and production refute this statement: It is indispensable as an integral part of general engineering education in mechanical engineering and construction specialties.
