《机械制图》和《计算机绘图》是技工院校机械类专业必修课程,是技能型人才知识结构的重要环节。该课程不仅注重学生识图和绘图能力的培养,还注重学生的空间思维、创新意识等综合能力的培养。随着科学文明的进步、计算机技术的飞速发展,计算机绘图已经让图版退出了历史的舞台,全面取代手工绘图只是时间上的问题。作为培养应用型技能人才的技工院校教学观念必须与时具进。但大部分技工院校在教学安排中,将这两门课程独立开设,导致教学内容重复、浪费教学资源,理论与实践脱节,教学效果不理想。要改变现状,融合《机械制图》和《计算机绘图》课程是提高制图教学效果的有效途径。 “Mechanical drawing” and “computer graphics” are the compulsory courses for mechanics majors in technical colleges and universities and an important link in the knowledge structure of skilled personnel. The course not only pays attention to the students ’ability of drawing pictures and drawing ability, but also pays attention to the cultivation of students’ comprehensive ability such as spatial thinking and innovative awareness. With the advancement of science and civilization and the rapid development of computer technology, computer graphics have allowed the plates to withdraw from the stage of history. It is only a matter of time before a full-scale manual drawing is replaced. As the training of skilled personnel of technical institutions of higher learning teaching concepts must advance with time. However, most of the technical colleges and universities have set up these two courses independently in their teaching arrangements, resulting in duplication of teaching contents, waste of teaching resources, disconnection between theory and practice, and unsatisfactory teaching results. To change the status quo, the integration of “mechanical drawing” and “computer drawing” courses is an effective way to improve the teaching effect of cartography.
