The formation of global competences for learners at all levels of professional engineering and mining education as the basis for the successful career and social life has become increasingly urgent in modern fast-changing world. The solution to this problem involves several aspects: first, identification and description of the basic elements and the structure of the global competences within the competency-based approach; second, the interpretation of global competences and their components taking into account convergent and divergent global processes in all spheres of human activity. Third, the development of tools to facilitate the reform of education, to ensure the quality improvement of the educational process, procedures, evaluation of results and ensuring the growth of quality indicators of the results of education.

Conceptual frameworks and principles of CDIO approach in the context of modernization of engineering education are considered. The correspondence between CDIO approaches to the description of learning outcomes and competency-based approach is analyzed. The direction of the implementation of CDIO approach for other specialties is specified. The possibilities of design of  interdisciplinary educational programmes are considered. Approaches of  the using of CDIO in economics and management education are considered.By studying the research of foreign authors, we have found several attempts to adapt the CDIO approach to the needs of economic education. The common motive for such activities, which researchers emphasize, is to enhance the relevance of economic education in the context of further professional activities and to improve the quality of vocational training through the development of design skills and  general competencies related, inter alia, to  project management, work in multidisciplinary teams, communication and collaboration . The difficulties encountered by the researchers include the low level of knowledge of teachers and the management of OHS about the possibilities of the CDIO approach, which complicates the implementation process. Overcoming this is possible through the organization of joint projects for students of different specialties, trainings and internships for teachers of non-engineering specialties.

Education In Africa

A research on engineering by the Royal Academy of engineering (RAE) in the year 2012 revealed that engineering has the capacity for economic and social development in various countries of the world. With the numerous opportunities and strength in engineering education comes its weaknesses and threats which necessitates a look at SWOT analysis. SWOT analysis is a tool for strategic planning and strategic management in organizations. This study analyzed implementation of SWOT analysis in engineering education in Africa and SWOT analysis as a concept was examined. Findings from the study revealed that SWOT analysis evolved in the 1960s. Though with improvement in knowledge and time, it has been superseded by other tools such as resource-based planning and competency-based planning. It is a tool for strategic planning and strategic management. There is no general convention or method for implementing SWOT analysis generally. Understanding the context and prevailing conditions is key in determining the appropriate dimension to exploring SWOT analysis in engineering education in Africa. The study therefore recommends that more effort be intensified on advancing the strengths and opportunities engineering education has while also overcoming its threats and weaknesses.

This article presents a case description of the design decisions, delivery methods, and assessment framework for an entrepreneurship micro-credential in a newly developed practice-based engineering degree, which was codesigned with industry partners who called for the integration of innovation, proactivity, and creativity (i.e., characteristics of entrepreneurship) into engineering education. Students undertake the micro-credential via online and face-to-face modules. Assessment is competency-based, requiring students to apply the theoretical knowledge provided in the micro-credential to an industry-based project. By participating in the micro-credential, it is expected that students will have a better understanding of how products and services can address customer needs, and how opportunities for product and service enhancement can create opportunities for growing the offerings of engineering. Several insights into the strengths, limitations, and design considerations for entrepreneurship micro-credentials in an engineering education context are outlined in addition to suggestions for improvement.

Competency Based

The complex issues of engineering education in a modern university are highlighted in this study from the perspective of the implementation of a competence-based approach. It is worth noting that the development of future basic professional competencies for engineers within a university context requires updating the content of higher education in transition areas with emphasis on results. There is also an opinion that today many characteristics of engineering education need to be improved. However, education in engineering, despite many developments, still falls short of the level of economic, scientific, technical, social, and cultural targets that are required for it to be effective. A defined set of problems for training future engineers in the context of the competency approach are therefore identified here: fundamentalization of the content of engineering education and improving its intellectualization; the formation and development of student engineering creativity; the development of ecological thinking; a humanization of the content of engineering education, and; professional skills and personal self-development for future engineers. These related problems require innovative approaches and solutions to the development of the content and organization of educational process in the preparation of the future engineers at university. The aim of the study is to determine the basic professional competencies of the future engineer and, on this basis, to identify and characterize the fundamental directions and ways of modernizing the content of engineering and technical education in higher education. The research is based on a survey of students and teachers of engineering specialties of M. Auezov South Kazakhstan State University, analysis of study programs and academic planning documentation of universities, theoretical analysis of references on the issues of engineering education, pedagogical modeling of the content of engineering education based on a competency-based approach.
