Abstract

Growth sphere of engineering and high technology creates conditions for the rapid economy development, but to realize these opportunities, highly qualified specialists are needed, who are subject to increased requirements both in terms of professional skills and competencies, and in personal qualities terms. This creates new challenges to the educational system, in particular to the engineering education system, which must overcome inertia, reduced student motivation, insufficient funding for the re-equipment of laboratories and increased requirements for lecturers. At the same time, both the system of student motivation, which allows them to reveal their talents, and a change in the paradigm of the educational process organization. Engineering education should combine not only the modern methods use and teaching aids, but also an orientation towards the needs of real production and business for create in student's ability to self-study and subsequently his rapid adaptation to production conditions. The experience gained shows that the use of new teaching methods in engineering education contributes to the development of engineering competencies required for high-tech industries. This requires creating a learning environment that motivates students to pursue engineering professions.
