ENGINEERS TRAINING QUALITY AS CRUCIAL OF RUSSIA NATIONAL SAFETY
The quality of training of engineers determines the viability of society, its potential in solving tactical and strategic tasks not only in technical, but also social and moral spheres. The main problem of engineering education in Russia is the mismatch of the principles of building educational standards and designing the content of education and forms of training of specialists in the field of technology and technology in accordance with the requirements of modern production. Considering the content design from the standpoint of cultural activity and competence approaches, as well as analyzing the current state of engineering and engineering education, the author postulates the principles of designing the content of innovative engineering education. The role of state regulation of education standards on the basis of a reasonable combination of theoretical(formal) and competence (practical) model of education is emphasized. The possibilities of system top-down design as corresponding to the stochastic model of engineering activity are revealed. Discusses the possibility of project-based learning, principles of CDIO. The necessity of formation of the quality system of engineering education, including first of all high-quality scientific and pedagogical staff of technical universities, state accreditation of educational organizations, international social and professional accreditation of engineering educational programs and international certification of engineers, maintenance of national registers of accrediting organizations and professional engineers.
