The use of virtual laboratory works in the study of engineering disciplines of oil and gas training

Abstract

The effect from the introduction of an interactive form of learning in the study of engineering disciplines is examined, as well as factors that decrease the effectiveness of the results of using modern computer training aids (simulators). Virtual laboratory works are described that are used at the department "Machines and equipment of the oil and gas industry" of the Industrial University of Tyumen in studying general engineering and special disciplines of the area "Oil and gas engineering", profile "Operation and maintenance of technological facilities of oil and gas production". Based on the experience of using simulators at the department, it was concluded that the greatest effect of achieving the required knowledge, abilities, and skills was obtained by using simulators in the form of virtual laboratory works.
