Chumak O. Methods of computer-based learning of probability and random processes for future engineers

Methodological system of computer-based learning of probability and random processes of future engineers was developed and scientifically substantiated. A model of methodical study of probability theory and stochastic processes using computer-based methods is described in detail. We affirm the necessity in forming students' technical specialties probabilistic-stochastic abilities, including special role that is played by the ability to use mathematical modeling and computer-based technology training courses. Author determined areas of effective formation future engineers' mathematical skills. Methods of professional oriented learning activities in technical colleges were created with "development" task. Experimental implementation of methodical system demonstrated improvement of student learning quality which is confirmed by positive dynamics in future engineers' probabilistic-stochastic skills development and forming their motivation, as during studying of investigated discipline so during the subsequent professional education. Keywords: probability theory and stochastic processes, future engineers, computer-oriented learning, computer-oriented learning tools, probability, stochastic ability, mathematical modeling.
