The problem of teaching and formulating the tasks for the “Applied Geometry” discipline is considered in this paper. Currently, in aviation high educational institutions there is a tendency to reduce the number of hours allocated to graphic disciplines; in addition, “Descriptive Geometry” – the habitual name of the discipline – has been replaced by name “Applied Geometry”. This is certainly connected with the transition to learning on undergraduate programs, that implies a competency-based approach, i.e., training in accordance with the necessary knowledge and methods of activity in a particular area [4; 9; 23; 29; 30; 34]. The planned results of learning in “Applied Geometry” include knowledge of methods for solving applied engineering-geometric problems, as well as the ability to use the basic elements of applied geometry and engineering graphics in professional activities, and to solve specific applied problems of geometric modeling [4; 14; 20; 22; 32]. For these reasons arises the question of the need to adapt “Descriptive Geometry” to the requirements and programs for the training of bachelors, bringing it to conformity with the name “Applied Geometry” of the discipline. According to the results of “Applied Geometry” studying, students ought to gain experience and have the ability to independently solve cognitive, organizational and other problems related to their future professional activities [28–30]. In this paper is proposed a general approach to the formulation of “Applied Geometry” problems for cadets pursuing a bachelor's degree in “Air Navigation” (25.03.03) and “Operation of Airports and Flight Support of Aircraft” (25.03.04). Using rather simple examples, has been considered the possibility to formulate the problem in such a way that instead of the traditional formulation it could be applied for a specific bachelor's degree. As well has been considered a complex applied problem, which is suitable as a task for performing a computational and graphic work, since it integrates several topics of the discipline.

Gaspard Monge wrote: "The charm that accompanies science can overcome man's natural aversion to the mind intenseness and make them find pleasure in their mind’s exercise that for most of people seems as tiresome and boring occupation". He had written it including descriptive geometry. To exercise one’s mind — what is this but the brain building, and science is accompanied just by heuristic thinking, so that brings new discoveries for an intellectual. The most difficult in descriptive geometry is the ability to represent a spatial geometric figure or such figures’ combination on two images. It is clear that the usual problems of a course are resolved within the academic discipline, and are typical ones, readily understandable for any student of a technical high educational institution, while the tasks at Academic Olympics, even if these tasks are destined for use inside a high educational institution, are more difficult. If for a solving of problems from an ordinary problem book on descriptive geometry’s course it is enough to know literally a few algorithms, for tasks of increased difficulty that is not enough. The Academic Olympics’ functions reveal such a feature of those on descriptive geometry as their inseparable property to be a catalyst for development of heuristic thinking. Here there is not only the disclosure of students’ abilities to solve ordinary geometric problems, but the ability to solve problems of heuristic direction in general. It is obvious that knowledge of typical problems on the course of descriptive geometry is absolutely insufficiently, as well as it is insufficiently to know school geometry, that currently almost is not teaching in schools — now it is necessary to have not only the spatial perception, but at least the beginnings of heuristic thinking. This, plus the mobilization of all mental resources, contributes both to the solution of given geometric problems, and further solving other problems in the related areas of science and technology.

In an aviation high educational institution, when getting students education in exploitative specialties it must be taken into account that it must be conducted in accordance with necessary requirements to the formedness level of professional competences in a specialized area. The planned results of “Applied Geometry and Engineering Graphics” learning include knowledge of methods for applied engineering and geometric problems solving, the ability to use the main elements of applied geometry and engineering graphics in professional activities, and solving of specific applied problems related to geometric modeling. The results of “Applied Geometry and Engineering Graphics” study are to gain experience and skills for solution of cognitive, organizational and other problems by themselves related to students’ future professional activities. In this paper are considered the main problems and tasks to be solved to achieve the necessary level for compliance of a student studying in one of the exploitative specialties at the Ulyanovsk Institute of Civil Aviation named after Chief Marshal of Aviation B.P. Bugaev, with professional competencies and modern educational standards. Issues related to the organization of “Applied Geometry and Engineering Graphics” discipline study, such as computerization of the educational process, use of distance learning technologies in the educational process, formation of students’ cognitive interest and spatial imagination. Has been presented the proposed structure of “Applied Geometry and Engineering Graphics” course for the exploitative specialties of Ulyanovsk Institute of Civil Aviation; the need to develop a task book for classroom and home works, taking into account their applied value for formation of professional competencies, has been justified.

A review of problems related to geometry and graphics training at school and high educational institution has been presented within the meaning of discussions on meeting of «Descriptive Geometry, Graphics, CADD» section of Saint Petersburg House of Scientists. It has been shown that in connection with minimization in the school program of graphics and due to focused training on geometry, the competence level of freshmen does not meet high educational institutions’ requirements. It is firmly established that descriptive geometry is the only subject to facilitate these gaps liquidation during the first year of educating. Different variants of educating programs are considered and analyzed.

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of teaching the discipline "Descriptive geometry" in the conditions of distance learning, it examines the application of information technologies in the educational process in geometric and graphic disciplines. Increasing the speed of information processes, reducing the number of hours for mastering the discipline. the conditions of distance learning set new tasks for teachers and dictate their requirements for teaching graphic disciplines and the use of teaching experience in a new reality; there is a need to introduce and develop new forms of education without losing the quality of education. Geometric-graphic disciplines occupy one of the important places in technical education, the complexity of the study of which lies in the development of a graphical representation of phenomena, objects and processes by methods of constructive geometric modeling. The knowledge and skills acquired by students contribute to the development of spatial, imaginative and rational thinking, which is necessary for future professional activities. Descriptive geometry is a discipline that is not easy to master on your own without a conscious understanding of the logic and sequence of geometric constructions, without deep knowledge of theoretical foundations and constant, repeated implementation of practical tasks. The acquisition of practical skills in mastering the methods of discipline has become more difficult in the current epidemiological situation. In modern conditions of distance learning, the use of the Simplex geometric modeling system made it possible to develop and propose a new concept of geometric-graphic interaction, which significantly reduced the time for completing and checking educational tasks in real time. The proposed technology reveals the deep informational essence of the studied discipline "Descriptive Geometry" and becomes a powerful research tool for students. The integration of traditional teaching methods in the graphic preparation of students with computer and communication facilities increases the possibilities of communication and improves the quality of teaching.

In the work, a number of facts and dates of the Kharkov period of life (1893–1920) of the botanist-algologist Nina Vasilievna Morozova-Vodyanitskaya are given, who graduated from the Kharkov High Women’s Courses, taught at them (as well as in other educational institutions of the city) and studied algae under the guidance of V. M. Arnoldi, Professor of the Departments of Botany of Kharkov University and High Courses. The origin of the rich merchant family allowed N. V. Morozova get both secondary and high education. The Kharkov High Women’s Courses were a huge, rapidly developing non-state high educational institution, similar to the classical university in terms of teaching natural sciences, equipping departments and laboratories, and the number of students. The Department of Botany, where N. V. Morozova studied and worked as a laboratory assistant and then as an assistant, has provided to the students an extensive workshop, participation in excursions outside the city and in expeditions to the basims of Russia. Students of the courses had the opportunity to engage in scientific work in laboratories and at a biological station on the Seversky Donets River. Among the students and junior teachers (colleagues of N. V. Morozova-Vodyanitskaya, who has formed the scientific school of V. M. Arnoldi) there were many well-known botanists, algologists, hydrobiologists who became professors, correspondent members, and so on. It is concluded that the scientific and pedagogical environment surrounding of N. V. Morozov-Vodyanitskaya in Kharkov favored her becoming as a researcher. Only the harsh conditions of the Civil War and devastation delayed the publication of the results of the first work of a young algologist, started in 1913.
