Development of the Future Engineering Education System: New Solutions and Predictions

Abstract

The paper outlines the main predictions for the development of the education system in technical universities related to the emergence of innovative technologies in various fields of science. It is postulated that the education system depends on changes in society. The knowledge, practical skills and personal experience of the students will come to the fore; interest in additional education and self-teaching will increase. It is assumed that in the near future we should expect the development of new methods and technologies of distance learning. The paper deals with the urgent problems of teaching associated with the humanization of engineering education and necessity of student’s adaptation to the rapid renewal of professions in connection with the emergence of new information technologies. It is postulated that the interaction of universities with employers is the most important condition for quality training of graduates, which contributes to their successful employment and future career growth.
