Abstract
The presented work is devoted to the issues of using project technologies of training in higher education institution based on information technology. The training of highly qualified competitive specialists is the main task for all higher educational institutions. In other words, a graduate of a higher educational institution should design highly efficient, technically advanced engineering systems, analyze the effectiveness of a project in comparison with other projects. The question arises of how to prepare such a specialist in the conditions when the current educational system often lags behind the processes taking place in the global space. In this regard, the authors attach special importance to mini-projects that can be carried out in a short time, while these projects build students' skills such as group work, teamwork management, project reporting, design and research skills. The paper also proposes a general structure of the educational project for one semester. This describes the experience of using the computer program Electronics Workbench version 512 in teaching physics to students of technical specialties. The questions of the effectiveness of innovative creativity of students in the performance of tasks of the mini-project in the course of physics are considered on the example of the simulation of the operation of oscillatory circuits – serial and parallel.
