Improving visualization skills of students in projection with elevations

Engineering graphics is one of the cornerstones of an engineering education. The future engineer must know the main principles of projections to draw or “read” different drawings. For Water and Land Management specialists it is very important to know fundamentals of projection with elevations (coted projection with applications). The major problem for the students when using the described method is to visualize a spatial situation from its planar representation. For solving problems by the method of projection with elevations, different transformations of these projections are used. In this work it is offered to use the method of auxiliary projection as the method of transformation projection with elevations. Such method improves visualization skills of students.
