Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Currently, new technologies are widely used in the context of the development of the information society, secondary and higher education. The use of digital tools, STEM resources, 3D modeling programs and 3D printing equipment, laboratory stands made with their own hands has been widely used in the educational process. All these conditions are aimed at preparing future specialists to meet the requirements of the XXI century. Physics as a fundamental science is one of the fundamental disciplines in the field of STEM. Therefore, the use of STEM elements in teaching physics has a huge impact on the development of the activities of future specialists in the engineering and technical field. Especially STEM products and laboratory stands, developed by students in conjunction with the teacher's guidance, increase the effectiveness of the educational process. This will make it possible to create creative products and thereby develop the scientific and technical industry of the country. The purpose of this study is to implement physics education in universities on the basis of interdisciplinary connections through mini-projects and the development of educational and research stands and to determine the features of their implementation in the educational process. The research used methods of systematic analysis of articles published in highly rated journals, 3D modeling and printing methods, as well as constructive research methods. In addition, qualitative research methods were used in the pedagogical process. The results of the study showed that the development of laboratory stands for the implementation of mini-projects, thereby developing the creativity of students, is of great importance. It became known that students are actively involved in engineering, are interested in this area and increase their knowledge level when performing mini-projects. The results of the study will allow new areas of research to appear in the future, improve the methodology of teaching physics at universities, combine knowledge with science and industry.
