Problem virtual in engineering education and its solutions to enhance learning

Abstract. The paper is devoted the problem of virtuality in engineering education in the widespread use of information technologies. The use of computer simulation in educational process allows speeding up the learning process and reducing the cost of education. However, the problem of virtuality of acquired knowledge appears since learning is not held on real physical objects, but on their computer models. The survey among students aims to show virtuality level of their knowledge. The authors offers specific system solutions of virtuality of acquired knowledge in learning process.
