An online course was held

Thanks to the efforts of our esteemed President, the development of the science and education sector is continuously strengthening. Various teaching methods are being systematically incorporated into the educational process, which helps to improve the quality of education. Currently, the importance of digital education systems is increasing as the integration of new information technologies in teaching which opens new opportunities. The effective use of these technologies enables significant achievements in various fields of science and practice.

The main task in preparing engineering specialists is to develop students ability to apply their knowledge, skills, and competencies in their future professional careers. Nowadays, particular attention is paid to the ability of students and young professionals to utilize information technologies in their work.

For this purpose, organizing online courses has become a trend to ensure that the young generation not only spends their time in an interesting way but also grows into knowledgeable and skilled professionals. An example of this is the online course organized on December 10, 2024, by the Scientific Department of the Turkmen Agricultural Institute. This course, titled “Analysis of Compressive Stress in Concrete Beams using Autodesk Inventor,” was conducted by Guwanch Öräýew, a lecturer at the Department of Applied Mechanics of the Institute. The online course was attended by students and distinguished professors from engineering-oriented higher education institutions of Turkmenistan, as well as from our Institute.

During the online course, experimental exercises in the course “Material Strength” were conducted virtually using the Autodesk Inventor program. The results of analytical calculations were compared with those of virtual tests. Autodesk Inventor helps solve complex problems by calculating and modeling the stresses and deformations of structures, providing a unified understanding of the system. This knowledge helps students develop skills in mathematical calculations, decision-making, and parameterization. It also enables them to test the behavior of different structures under various loads in a virtual environment.
