Metrological Skills Development of Technical University Students in a Digital Educational Resource with a Smart Laboratory

Abstract

The relevance of the current problem study is due to the intensive development of digital education using online access. It is becoming more and more in demand, especially in the situation of the world quarantine, when obtaining an educational result is formed in conditions of remote access. Metrological skills of technical university students are structure-forming in the professional competencies of a future engineer. Thus, their development in the conditions of the modern university educational environment should be organized taking into account the constantly changing tasks of engineering activity and the conditions for its implementation. The purpose of this article is to present approaches to the development of a digital educational resource with a built-in smart laboratory for remote access. This digital resource is focused on the development of the metrological skills of students. The authors present the results of its approbation in the course of teaching students at the Kazan National Research Technical University named after A.N. Tupolev while training them as engineering and technical personnel. The basic method in the work was the design of an online training course "Metrology and radio measurements" based on a virtual laboratory platform, including testing and assessment of the level of students' metrological skills (with a diagnostic map). As a result of the research, a virtual laboratory site was created, based on logical and object-oriented approaches. When using a virtual laboratory platform, a monitoring system for assessing the development of metrological skills was applied, which showed the effectiveness of using a smart laboratory in a digital course aimed at the development of students' metrological skills. This allowed me to start work on the development of theoretical and methodological support for the virtual laboratory site, taking into account its flexibility and ability to integrate it with other measuring sites.
