Application of Online Learning within Education of Future Engineers during the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The article is devoted to application of online learning within education of future engineers during the Covid-19 pandemic. Online learning challenges traditional education mode due to the rapid development of modern information technologies. The problem of online education is relevant in connection with the urgent transfer of education to the online format during the COVID-19 pandemic. Application of online learning within engineering education meets the needs of new social situation, it provides updating teaching mode, teaching content, teaching concept, teaching level, and testing means. Online learning is characterized by the changes of teacher's role, student's status, media's role, and teaching process. The authors conclude that practical applicability of data visualization combined within online education of future engineers leads to the development of their professional competence. Application of online learning provides new tools for engineering teaching and becomes an important force for improving future engineers’ knowledge, skills and learning efficiency.
