The Essential Role of Computer Animation in Teaching Technical Courses

Computer animation has a positive effect on the memory of the learner regarding what is taught in the technical courses. It helps in the development of psychology. Animation allows familiarizing the learner with the strategies of solving technical difficulties and showcase the mode of operating machinery and equipment. In the technique, animations are used, and also, in the processes of designing, engineering calculations, visualization and observing technological processes and visualization of the assembly process. This paper discusses the functioning and application for supporting the teaching process of technical courses with the help of computer animation, examples of CAD, CAx and CAM are used for understanding the manufacturing process by the learners. Selected examples of technical processes in both computer-aided design and manufacturing programs as well as in graphics and animation programs are presented.
