Abstract

Abstract theory presented in a traditional way often causes apathy in students, while connecting it to something real and physical usually leads to greater interest and enthusiasm. This paper discusses the importance of using educational software systems in the teaching process, which are effective auxiliary tools for mastering complex theoretical constructions in engineering education. The introduction and adoption of new information technologies in learning and teaching has evolved rapidly in recent years. The role of technology in higher education is to encourage students to think about the problem of study and to enhance the educational process, not to reduce it to a set of procedures for the delivery of content. Therefore, this paper lists the essential aspects of software systems that are necessary for the system to be characterized as educational, that is, as a learning support system.
