Scientific Novelty and Practical Significance
The scientific novelty of the department\u2019s research lies in the development of geometric methods for representing complex technical and multi-component systems, improving graphic models, and transferring classical descriptive geometry principles into the digital CAD/CAE modeling environment. The applicability of multi-dimensional geometry for analyzing the composition and state of multi-component systems is substantiated, as is the use of graphic models for optimizing engineering objects.
The practical significance of the results lies in their potential use in developing engineering structures, modeling thermal processes, designing industrial products, and forming the spatial and professional thinking of students. Research results are transformed into textbooks, laboratory workshops, distance courses, and assignments for course and diploma projects.
