INTERDISCIPLINARITY AS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR OF ENGINEERING EDUCATION MODERNIZATION

Abstract

Aim. To study modern approaches to the factor of interdisciplinarity in the training of future engineers. Methodology. The analysis of foreign experience of training engineers, which was comparable to the domestic one, including the authors’ own long-term practical experience, was carried out. Results. It is concluded that a graduate of a technical University, which is part of the neo-industrial production, should have universal and largely interdisciplinary competencies. The factor of interdisciplinarity is intended to be a determining factor in designing the content of educational programs, and become an important element of the teaching methodology of fundamental disciplines. Research implications. The results of the research can be used in the development of new training courses and specific methods of teaching fundamental disciplines in technical universities.
