“…The methodology of preparing engineers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] differs from institution to the other, with one shared goal to produce high-qualified engineers. A high-qualified engineer is an engineer who has the essential engineering knowledge in his field, alongside the ability to apply his knowledge in real-world problems.…”

Every engineering course has two main parts; theoretical and practical. In the last decades, the gap between various engineering institutions has been reduced by using online resources, where all the students and lecturers have access to technological advances in their field. The difficulty arises in the practical part; to gain valuable engineering skills, students need hands-on experience, which means implementing the theoretical part and infer the results of their work. The top-tier institution provides its students with needed equipment and facilities, while many others struggle to fund one plat-form (e.g. universities in small cities and developed regions). To address this problem, we propose using simulation and robotic kits (Lego Mindstorms) in the practical part of courses related to mobile robots, and fuzzy logic. To show that, it is possible to improve the engineering curriculum in the cases of low funds, and improve the quality of future engineering graduates.

“…A variety of effective approaches to knowledge transfer is implemented through a variety of visual tools and models [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Comprehensive training in engineering specialties is largely based on visual tools that ensure the creation, transmission,and application of mechanisms for the formalization and manipulation of knowledge in a single semantic interdisciplinary and interspecifi c hierarchy, providing a single and complete description of the product life cycle processes [10,11]. The postulate "one picture replaces 1000 words, and one diagram 1000 drawings"has already become classic.…”

This article is concerned with the prospects for the implementation of synchronous technology for knowledge processing and transfer by visual methods in the context of end-to-end engineering project-based training. A formal characterization of information about complex systems based on the visual cognitive metalanguage VI-XML, forming a synchronous project-based educational environment, is proposed. This environment is a set of methods, using visualization metaphors, while the object under study is presented from different points of view and levels of detail (expertise). Visualization metaphors form the mechanisms for processing and transferringknowledge by comparing abstract or real objects to visually perceptible images. Visual modeling languages, in turn, are formed by fi xed sets of metaphors and rules for construction of visual models from them. The proposed approach to the presentation of models underlies the universal visual modeling environment, which provides a single interface for creating and editing visual conceptual, structural-functional, and object models. It provides the ability to encapsulate the levels of visual modeling in a single closed hierarchy, accompanying the stages of system analysis and design. The experience of using a universal visual modeling environment in the frame of practical work and group design has proven itself to be good for the solution of educational problems in the fi eld of knowledge transfer in a visual form that is easily interpreted by students.
