  To effectively prepare engineering students requires of formation of a system
of fundamental physical knowledge together with the ability to apply them in
specific productive activities, both on fundamental and on the
profiled-oriented level. Accordingly the tasks of physics of high school is
mastering the methodology of science knowledge and scientific way of thinking
and generalize of experimental natural ability to conduct scientific research
by methods of physical knowledge. In the process of teaching physics
simulations simultaneously acts by scientific knowledge, is part of the content
of educational material and effective means of experiment. It is possible to
obtain special teaching methods of computer simulation, which include primarily
computer experiment. The main methods of computer modeling learning in
university are a multimedia lecture, telecommunications project and
computer-oriented laboratory practice. The main tasks of teaching computer
modeling in physics course are the overall development and formation of outlook
of future engineers and development practical skills in computer simulation.
The leading method of learning computer simulation in physics course is a
project method. Those methods of learning are optimal in the context of
developmental education. Computational experiment is a modeling methodology as
a science, so it can be attributed to the principles of scientific methods of
learning. Purposes of learning physics in university include the necessity of
mastering a given set of scientific facts and methods of getting these facts.
Computational experiment reflects the method of knowledge which applied in
physics.
