The Utilization of Computer Programs in Vocational Education

Abstract

The article deals with the utilization of computer programs in specialized subjects with elec-trotechnical focus. Calculations are performed using the classic method based on formulas. This way is lengthy and errors can occur. Computer programs work with a fixed database. The results are presented by graphical outputs and calculated results. The advantage is that the calculation takes place without time-lag and mathematical errors. The use of computer programs in the educa-tion process leads to the realization of practical tasks, which may represent situations of profes-sional practice.
