New training of mechanical specialists for the construction industry

Abstract

Introduction. The modern construction site is often characterised by the application of BIM technologies as part of the transition to digital twins of the construction project. The creation of digital twins implies the participation of all specialists, whose field of activity is included in the construction and technological process, including specialists in construction mechanization means. The review of publications of different levels shows the relevance of the task.Materials and methods. To solve this problem, the university should have both human and material resources to ensure the training of such mechanical specialists who can participate in the creation of digital twins of the construction object; in the creation of digital twins of construction machines, mechanisms and equipment; in the application of digital twin technologies in the design, construction, production, testing, operation and disposal of construction machines, mechanisms and equipment. The paper shows the reality of solving the problem of training specialists in mechanics in the field of both digital technologies and digital twins. Examples of application of digital twins in a number of industries are given with the appropriate training of specialists in such universities as, for example, SPbPU, MSUT “STANKIN”, BMSTU. Also, similar training in construction specialties is carried out in MGSU.Results. The discipline “Fundamentals of creating a digital twin of construction machines and equipment” was added in NRU MGSU during the development of the project of a new basic educational programme of higher education in the specialty 23.05.01.Conclusions. As the main provisions, it is proposed to supplement the curricula of personnel training in the specialty “Land transport and technological means” with competencies in the field of creating digital twins; introduce the discipline “Digital twins of handling, construction, road facilities and equipment” or another discipline that reflects the profile of the graduating department implementing the educational programme.
