Improvement of the Quality of Engineering Education Based on Modern Pedagogical Approaches

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the problem of improvement of the quality of engineering education. The analysis of scientific research has established the following: modern pedagogical approaches are not used to a large extent in universities, which does not allow to intensively build the competencies of future engineers. The author has developed suggestions for improving the process of higher education in the context of modern approaches to education. He argues that for the effective training of future engineers in accordance with selected innovative training tools (interactive methods and technologies) and updated content of engineering education with focus on competency-based approach, psychological and pedagogical support (selection of methods and tools) should be selected. Simultaneous formation of multiple competencies can occur in the framework of solving the problem of mastering the unit of educational content through interactive actions using a certain technological method (its content and the content of education define specific competency components).
