Seminary Paper as an Additional Task in Teaching Descriptive Geometry

Abstract

As a result of introducing Bologna process in education, classes of Descriptive geometry were reduced. In order to acquire such a complex matter as Descriptive geometry, it was necessary to provide an additional task as homework. After three years of experience in practicing classic additional supplementary problems, we made an attempt to innovate homework, following an idea to achieve creativity in appliance of Descriptive geometry knowledge in engineering practice. During the training classes, we recognized the students’ problem of connecting abstract apprehensions and principles of Descriptive geometry with basic problems and tasks of engineering practice. Form of seminary paper was chosen as an appropriate one for handling the themes and method units of Descriptive geometry program. Each student, in a group of 30 students, had its own theme to elaborate in text interpretation and drawings, also recognizing (photos ...images) and presenting examples in real life (buildings or other examples in art, design or industry).
