The authors study the ways of changing ideology in problems of technical knowledge possession, the ability to read drafts and knowing rules and norms of drafting. The use of modern computer graphics means is possible only on the basis of engineering graphics laws and rules.

Geometry and graphic disciplines consider constructing graphical models of engineering fields of activity, such as drawings, spatial models, visual images, using modern computer technology. Technological capabilities of new training tools both activate students' cognitive activity of students and encourage them to creative developments and experiments, extend the sense of possible. Knowledge, abilities and skills, acquired during the study of geometry and graphics courses, are comprehensive for studying general engineering and technical disciplines, as well as for subsequent engineering activity.

The article is about the creation and content of the coursework in engineering computer graphics in the form of layout stand.

Examined main competencies that forms professional trend of graphics studying in technical universities. We are showing experiences of teaching students for using CAD/CAM systems for future use in profes-sional engineering and using different systems in projecting.
