Abstract

The well-known approach to solving technical problems by resolving conflicts through the use of empirical methods is rather cumbersome, and makes it difficult to study it in the course of educational process. The aim of the paper is to develop such a system of empirical methods that would allow studying it within the educational program of training an engineer without reducing significantly its effectiveness. As a part of this goal, the author analyzes well-known systems of empirical methods of solving technical problems with regard to the field of "Mechanical Engineering", and makes an attempt to reduce the number of techniques without losing their effectiveness due to their specialization, as well as by combining well-known methods. The proposed approach allows mastering the method of empirical techniques within the educational process.

As a result, a list of empirical methods and techniques of solving technical problems in the field of mechanical engineering, including 10 techniques: partitioning – aggregation (partition of the object, task sharing, optimization, nesting), elasticity (elastic element, inflatable element), other way (opposite position, opposite action, prior action, asymmetry), curvilinearity (curvilinear element, rotation, rolling), dynamism (mobility, adaptability, intermittence), analogy (a copy of the object, the technical counterpart, natural analogue), damage to the good (usage, intensification, adding, cheap fragility, waste), state (aggregate state, texture, porosity, heterogeneity), mediator (modified object, the third object), physical fields (the field, a combination of fields, physical effects).

Examples of application of empirical methods and techniques in solving engineering technology are given in the article.

The proposed system of empirical methods allows to study them in classes on technical creativity within the time allotted in the curriculum, and use them both for solving educational problems in discipline "Mechanical Engineering", coursework designing and further engineering practice.
