Abstract

The modern development of the world economy in the direction of Industry 4.0, taking place against the background of natural resources depletion, requires the search for new engineering solutions. The accelerating rates of technological progress lead, on the one hand, to the need for a transition to the digital economy, and on the other hand, make it possible to implement such a transition. This is a challenge to the engineering education system, which should prepare engineers “for the future” with new digital competencies. The article outlines the directions of digital development of the engineering education system, the problems with which one has to face. An example of learning engineers for the automotive industry is given, taking into account the business requirements for the competence of engineers. It is shown that such a solution will give a good result for both business and students, guaranteeing their relevance in the labor market.
