INFORMATION AND WORLDVIEW ASPECT OF DISCIPLINARY CONVERGENCE OF ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY
Convergence is a new form of educational environment, achieved through the interdisciplinary nature of all forms of scientific knowledge and acts as a fundamental category of the functioning of modern science systems. The article presents the results of the development of the information and world view aspect of the disciplinary convergence of the educational environment of the engineering university, which involves a comprehensive justification of methodological principles and organizational and methodological measures for the implementation of the interdisciplinary strategy of designing the content of cycles of engineering training. At the same time, the concept of disciplinary convergence of the engineering university is introduced as a purposeful procedure for implementation of the interdisciplinary structure of the content of polytechnic training, which actualizes the process of formation of the fundamental core of engineering. The methodology of the system approach, which allowed to develop a universal algorithm of disciplinary synthesis of all training cycles on the basis of the information model of interdisciplinary ties, was chosen as the national scientific basis of the study. As a didactic product of interdisciplinary integration are interdisciplinary cycle complexes, the algorithm of functioning of which is controlled by the methodology of construction and development of the general phylosophical category «scientific picture of the world.» It is shown that the inclusion of methodological bases of this category in the process of organizing the integrity of the engineer ‘s training provides forms of synthesis of scientific knowledge at all levels of the educational environment. An example of methodological organization of educational space of engineering university within the framework of interdisciplinary approach is given.
