IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION BY USING DIGITAL DESIGN TOOLS

Аннотация

This article scientifically covers the role and significance of digital design tools in thesystem of technical education, the possibilities ofimproving thequality ofeducation by integrating them into the educational process. In particular, on the basis of statistical data, the effectiveness of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) technologies in the development of students' technical thinking, strengthening their ability to find solutions in problem situations and the formation of practical skills are analyzed. The experience of foreign countries, the reforms being carried out in Uzbekistan and the role of modern digital educational tools in technical and vocational education are analyzed. The article is enriched with methodological and strategic proposals for thedevelopment of digital-based education.

Today, digital technology has penetrated deeply into almost every aspect of our lives. Digital transformation, especially in the industrial and technical areas, is fundamentally changing the demand and approach to training a new generation of personnel. In this context, the use of modern digital design tools (CAD) in the technical education system is recognized as one of the most important strategic directions. These tools allow students to combine theoretical knowledge with real practice, visually design complex systems and mechanisms, as well as develop engineering thinking. In traditional teaching methods, students would often try to grasp concepts through static pictures and diagrams in a textbook. However, this approach does not fully cover the demands of the modern workforce – in particular, creative thinking, technical problem- solving and teamwork skills. And digital design technologies are an effective solution to fill thisgap. Also, digital design tools not only increase students' interest, but also develop their analytical thinking, their capacity to analyze problems and offer innovative solutions. This, in turn, will help to increase the competitiveness of graduates of technical directions, to prepare them for therequirements ofmodern production. The Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated April 21, 2022, No. PP-211 sets out to improve the quality and effectiveness of teaching by introducing modern pedagogical technologies and information and communication tools into the system of page819 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ISSN:2692-5206,ImpactFactor:12,23 AmericanAcademicpublishers,volume05,issue04,2025 Journal: https://www.academicpublishers.org/journals/index.php/ijai technical education. This has led to the recognition of the use of digital design tools as a priority area atthe level of educationpolicy. This article attempts to analyze and evaluate the role of digital design tools in technical education, their impact on the educational process, performance indicators and foreign and national experience. BasicSection (extended) 1.Types ofDigital Design Toolsand TheirPossibilities Digital Design tools (CAD - Computer Aided Design) allow you to create, analyze, test and enhance drawings, details, devices, mechanisms and entire systems in 2D or 3D format. The following are someoftheimportant toolsthat are widely used in technical education: AutoCAD – one of the main programs for designing 2D drawings, architecture, and structures. SolidWorks – used in the mechanical and mechanical engineering industries. It allows for agitation ofparts, motionsimulationand strain analysis. Fusion 360 is a cloud-based, collaborative 3D design tool. Suitable for beginners and educational institutions. Tinkercad – designed for schoolchildren and beginner-level users with a user-friendly interface. CATIA, PTC Creo, Inventor – used in professional industrial environments, especially in aviation and automotive. Through these programs, students learn complex systems step by step, thoroughly mastering thefundamentals ofengineering based onpractical experience. 2.Theimpactofdigital designtools onthe educationprocess Integration of digital design technologies into the educational process has a positive effect in thefollowing aspects: Forms practical knowledge and skills. Students gain a deeper understanding of traditional lessons bycollecting, analyzing, and refining real-world details in a virtual environment. Develops constructive and creative thinking. Through the programs, students develop their projects independently, which unlocks theircreativepotential. Provides a multi-discipline approach. Digital design technologies allow for the integration ofmathematics, physics, computer science, andengineering disciplines. It blends in with the STEM approach. CAD tools are becoming an integral part of teaching in STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) discipl
