THE INTERACTIVE GEOMETRIC SOFTWARE - A MODERN TOOL IN FORMING AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENGINEERING THINKING

Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to highlight the great applications of the interactive geometric software in exploring and thoroughgoing study of some chapters of applied mechanics. In first part of the paper is presented advantages of using interactive geometric software in training and development of the engineering thinking, as well as the main chapters of applied mechanics in which the use of these software environments is recommended. Following are detailed case studies that illustrate the using an interactive geometric software in applied mechanics. At the end of the paper, the author's observations and conclusions are given.
