Abstract

Today, around the world, including Russia, the need for new generation of specialists is growing, who would have all the modern professional, practical skills to work in the specialty, be ready for mobility and constant professional career growth. A modern highly qualified specialist must possess flexible skills that allow to better navigate the global transformations, and with which he can freely navigate his profession. Modern university education should be aimed at developing students’ universal competencies. A centuries-old pedagogical system must evolve. Today, modern educational technologies do not require students to memorize new material, but to develop their skills in various fields – from planning that is understandable in this situation, to the ability to convince the validity of their decision. In a higher education institution in engineering, special attention is paid to higher mathematics. This discipline is a special educational discipline, which serves as the foundation for the study of other general engineering and special disciplines. In the article the researcher analyzes a set of flexible skills and considers how they can be developed in mathematics classes.
