The article presents the results of the research in media consumption of educational internet resources by first-, second-year technical university students. Changes are observed in preparation of students for classes, for various forms of control (control works, exams, summary reports with the involvement of internet resources). The request of students for general media content, and mathematical content in particular, as well as the features of "digital " generation thinking are analyzed. The authors conclude that the time of media education in Russia has not come yet, the paradigm shift of media consumption will occur in the next 5-10 years.

The paper analyzes the textbooks used at Mathematics lessons at technical universities to reveal problems and exercises of applied nature. The analyses is implemented on the example of the section "Definite integral and its applications". The authors singles out the main types of tasks that, according to the authors, should be included in textbooks and problem books on mathematics, aimed at students of technical specialties.

The paper deals with information and computer competence of university teachers and its component parts. The authors reveal the modern means of training in this area available to the teacher.

Engineering education plays a key role in modern conditions of development of science and technology. It is necessary to implement a new technological breakthrough in the field of fundamental problems of engineering sciences, which in turn can be provided by preparation of highly qualified specialists in the field of engineering, capable to work out in professional sphere in the conditions of the development of new technologies and computerization; the development of new learning technologies based on fundamental basic knowledge and innovative approaches. The study, described and implemented by the authors, is development of new principles and methods of preparation of qualified engineers, with profound understanding of mathematics and its application opportunities in the engineering sciences: engineering, architecture and construction.

This article contains overview of methodological features of the exam on higher mathematics, task compilation and criteria for evaluating, according to module-rating system of Siberian State Automobile and Highway Academy
