A link is given to the state budget, which reflects the requirements for students. The success of a student’s adaptation to a constantly changing life and professional situations, as well as their professional mobility, largely depends on the formation of design and research competencies, because in their future professional activities they will constantly face non-trivial situations, implement various types of innovations, and make independent decisions based on the research activities. The organization of project research activities of students involves such a construction of the educational process, in which students learn the basic methods of research, master the skills to independently extract new knowledge by researching phenomena and processes, think systematically, process large amounts of information and identify the main thing, apply the knowledge in practice.
