The article emphasizes the importance and relevance of engineering education in the face of challenges of the modern information society, development of new technologies and knowledgeintensive industries. Attention is paid to the low level of demand for engineering professions among potential entrants, as well as to the issue of developing competencies needed for a modern engineer, taking into account the requirements of the labour market. The article describes the experience of I.N. Ulianov Chuvash State University on organizing career-guidance work with pupils of educational in-stitutions, including implementation of projects aimed at popularization of engineering education. One of such significant for the region projects is “Engineering classes”, in which senior classes schoolchildren of four leading partner-schools of the University take part. The training program includes lessons on mathematics, physics and computer sciences, reinforcing training of future entrants for getting higher engineering-technical education, as well as an elective part on solving applied engineering tasks from the following sections: electronics, robotics, mechatronics, 3D modeling, engineering graphics, and prototyping. A specific feature of the project is a broad engagement of students majoring in technical directions as tutors into the educational process when schoolchildren perform research and design work. Along with higher levels of knowledge in basic subjects for a future engineer, an active participation of schoolchildren in project activities makes it possible to develop communication skills, acquire experience of team work, which is particularly in demand by employers. The article stresses the important role of the largest industrial regional enterprises in implementing the project. These enterprises provide their production sites to explore the organization of production and professional activities of engineers, as well as participate in holding Olympiads and creative contests and provide opportunities for subsequent target training. Thus, the project «Engineering classes» makes it possible to implement the model of continuing education in a single chain «School-University-Enterprise», thereby creating preconditions for the growth of human capacity in regional high-tech enterprises.

The use of ICT in education has changed substantially over the last two decades. The development of new technologies has enabled us, the users, to mature and gain experience. The introduction of ICT in the educational process at the same time means a change of the teachers' role. The teacher appears in the role of a mentor who directs the activities of the learner. There has been a change in the teacher preparation to teach. He should provide both the content as well as technical support and to create a suitable learning environment. The way of teaching in the natural science and engineering education is specific due to the need of transfer knowledge into the practice. The nature of work in this kind of education requires more experimental work, based on individual learning process. There are many different implementation options of laboratory exercises that advantageously incorporate ICT into the nature of their work. The most popular in engineering education are two different types of laboratories: Simulation (virtual) and Remote controlled (online) labs, defined by Balamuralithara and Woods (2009). A remote controlled laboratory for conducting remote experiments at the University of Maribor, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering was developed. Development of the remote lab was carried out as an exploratory work of the group of students and professors. The lab was developed in the following three phases: development of the construction with corresponding technical documentation, development of the control system and development of the system for remote control of a lift. The successful student project is evident through the applicability of the developed laboratory that serves as a great tool for studying and offers all the benefits of ICT. Key words: experimental work, higher education, learning environment, pedagogy 1:1.

The state’s development vector is currently aimed at innovative transformations. To create an effective innovation system in the country, it is important to prepare University students for professional activities and develop their innovative potential. An important condition in preparing students for innovation is psychological and pedagogical support. Support should be aimed at the formation of innovative competencies of students, personal development, expansion of self-education, assistance in the development and implementation of innovations. It is important that psychological and pedagogical support is focused on the design of the author’s system of student activity when mastering the basics of the profession. Psychological and pedagogical support in the educational process takes into account the logic of the natural development of the student at this age and socio-cultural stage. The model of psychological and pedagogical support for the development of innovative potential of students includes several components: motivational, informative, practical, evaluative, and diagnostic. The model combines the goals, objectives, and features of innovation in the educational environment. It should be focused on the development of innovative thinking, improving motivation, improving the quality of independent and team work, and selfdevelopment of students. When developing the innovative potential of students, it is necessary to use active forms of education: training, project activities, discussions, modeling, roleplaying and simulation games. Active forms of education help to develop students communicative competence, creative and organizational abilities, personal and professional identity. Psychological and pedagogical support for the development of innovative potential of students should be based on the principle of transition of opportunity to relevance. With the development of innovative potential, students move to a qualitatively new level through self-development and professional improvement. Scientific and research work, which is focused on the practical implementation of the results of intellectual activity, is of great importance in the preparation of students.

Введение. Представлена актуальность формирования метапредметности, реализуемой на межпредметном содержании в системе основного общего образования и являющейся необходимой в настоящее время обществу в наукоемких производствах любого профиля. Показана необходимость формирования у современного педагога, в том числе и школьного учителя математики, физики и технологии, компетенций, относящихся к основам инженерной деятельности, обязательными из которых являются графическая культура и графическая грамотность. Цель исследования состоит в выявлении межпредметных линий между математическими, естественно-научными и техническими учебными дисциплинами, способствующих формированию у обучающихся компетенций, относящихся и к инженерной деятельности, таких как графическая культура и графическая грамотность. Материал и методы. Представлено обобщение авторами опыта преподавания ряда курсов инженерной направленности, таких как графика, инженерное проектирование, прикладная математика, техническая механика, для будущих инженеров и учителей физики и технологии. Проведен анализ нормативных документов по проблеме исследования. Результаты и обсуждение. Анализ нормативных документов, регламентирующих учебный процесс будущих учителей математики, физики и технологии, показал, что содержание теоретического материала и обсуждение прикладных аспектов данных учебных дисциплин не учитывают требования к формированию графической культуры и графической грамотности. В современных условиях повсеместного введения в школах профильных инженерных классов, помимо профессиональных компетенций педагога, учитель математического, естественно-научного и технологического циклов дисциплин обязан обладать компетенциями, относящимися и к инженерной деятельности, такими как графическая культура и графическая грамотность. Для формирования компетенций, связанных с графической грамотностью, в процесс подготовки учителей математики, физики и технологии в рамках профессионального цикла в качестве дисциплин по выбору должен быть введен модуль «Графика / Инженерное проектирование», в который входят такие учебные дисциплины, как черчение, инженерная графика, элементы аналитической геометрии, компьютерная графика. Таким образом, появится возможность создания межпредметных линий между учебными дисциплинами математического, естественнонаучного и технологического циклов дисциплин, что в свою очередь позволит в дальнейшем формировать метапредметность всего образовательного процесса будущих учителей. Заключение. Формируемая метапредметность образовательной среды для студентов педагогического университета, обучающихся по направлению подготовки 44.03.01 «Педагогическое образование» (направленность (профиль) «Математика», «Физика», «Технология»), позволит в дальнейшем учителям согласованно формировать и развивать у обучающихся школ пространственное мышление, воображение, творческие способности, наблюдательность, необходимые в их дальнейшей профессиональной деятельности. Introduction. The article presents the relevance of forming a meta-subject matter that is implemented on an intersubject content in the system of basic General education and is currently necessary for society in high-tech industries of any profile.

The article is devoted to modern trends of engineering pedagogy development that are global due to the processes of globalization and internationalization of higher technical education. The tendencies of engineering pedagogy development as a pedagogical science are connected with the key pedagogy concepts of teaching aims, content, forms, technologies, and aids. The trends of development are determined by the necessity to overcome the contradiction between fast changes in the sphere of engineering activities and certain conservatism, lag effect typical for engineering education system. At present, there are several general trends. Fast changes of modern society require regular analysis of social needs, specification and updating of engineering education aims, which takes place in the conditions of changeability and uncertainty and are more and more based on prediction. New forms of engineers’ training appear in order to overcome the gap between the requirements of engineers’ activities and the results of their education, and they are organized by joint efforts of universities, researchers, industry and business. New technologies of education involving the latest achievements in science, techniques and technologies are being developed and introduced in the educational process. Regular changes in educational process make the engineering education system to some extent unstable and unbalanced, and this trend may be expected to intensify. In order to correspond to the situation and to develop new technical teachers’ competences, various specialized diversified courses are offered to meet specific requirements of particular target groups.

The article presents the results of a study on the employment of graduates of the first in the Russian Federation department of personnel management at the State University of Management (Moscow). A survey of former students showed that most of the respondents work in their specialty in organizations of various forms of ownership and areas of the economy. The positions of graduates and the job responsibilities performed by them reflect the whole range of professional activities of HR specialists, starting from the general management of personnel of specific organizations and ending with narrowly targeted posts. At the same time, respondents, as professionals, were identified the “weaknesses” of their training at the university, which were mostly related to the limited practical orientation of training, namely, the formation of competencies in the use of relevant personnel management tools. The questionnaire also revealed the variability of the professional interests of graduates, reflecting modern HR trends. The practical focus of the study lies in the possibility of studying the real state of personnel management practice through the professional experience of graduates; as a resource for scientific, educational, methodological and educational purposes for improving the educational process of the department; for the organization of career guidance work among students studying at the department and the formation of their professional culture; to develop a community of teachers, graduates and students of the department through the development of trusting mutually beneficial relationships.
