PROBLEMS OF FORMING PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES OF FUTURE ENGINEERS IN A TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The article identifies and analyzes the key problems of forming professional competencies of future engineers at a technical university. The composition and structure of professional competencies of an engineer are determined, and contradictions between the requirements of employers and the actual level of training of graduates are identified. The paper analyzes the factors that hinder the effective formation of competencies and suggests ways to optimize this process. The article emphasizes that the formation of professional competencies of future engineers at a technical university will be effective if the contradiction between the requirements of modern production and the labor market for the qualifications of engineers and the traditional methods of training, which do not provide a sufficient level of practical orientation, flexibility, and integration of fundamental knowledge with applied skills, is overcome. The conclusions of the article demonstrate that the proposed solutions can be scaled to other technical universities to improve the quality of engineering education and reduce the gap between the training of personnel and the needs of the industrial industry.
