Today, the development of geometry and graphic competence requires geometry and graphic training to be fundamental. Its basis is geometry and graphic language but mastering it is not easy because of a poor knowledge of Geometry and Graphics that students get in high schools as well as considerable reduction of these subjects’ classroom hours at universities. This leads to a critical reduction in the volume of information on descriptive geometry and technical drawing that students get now. So, the opportunity of organizing the educational process to the level of productive and technical activities of students, corresponding to the level of development of modern design and engineering technologies decreases. The authors try to evaluate the modern condition of geometry and graphic training that serve as a basis for bachelor students’ geometry and graphic competence. Engineering and technology are in the focus. The authors make an attempt to correct the approaches for teaching the disciplines. As authors believe, the main task is to develop pedagogical interaction by forming geometry and graphic terminology and thesaurus with special pedagogical tools used for verbal and non-verbal training. The research describes the structure of geometry and graphic language. This language is the reflection of mental processes that transform engineering thought to concrete technological products and their production technologies. The article defines the most typical functions of drawing: graphic, informative, aesthetic, etc. It presents the levels of geometry and graphic language proficiency and the time limits to master the corresponding thesaurus for the students to use it in their learning and professional activity. The article presents a ten-point scale to evaluate technical language proficiency characterizing the activity of the learning process participants. The authors state that students are to take engineering competence development as a means for self-development. The success of the process depends on their intention to study the geometry and graphics-like disciplines. Thus, the geometry and graphic (engineering) competence is an important component of professional training. It is possible to develop the competence by advancing technologies for teaching graphic disciplines and writing didactic instructions aimed at liquidating gaps in high school knowledge of geometry and graphics. Besides the instructions will help to develop independent and creative work of students. One of the means to do it is to develop students’ awareness and motivation to study and master geometry and graphic language and engineering thesaurus that are the main professional tools for modern engineers.

The article proves the importance of communicative and organizational skills among graduates of the bachelor's degree in nursing, who will work in various types of professional activities: clinical practice; organizational and managerial; pedagogical; re-search.It is shown that the involvement of students in project activities is one of the effec-tive ways to improve the communicative and organizational skills of future head nurses of the department and head nurses of various medical organizations. After conducting a study on the formation of communicative and organizational skills by integrating the re-search work of students / project into the educational process, into educational and indus-trial practice, the results of the intermediate survey increased by 1 level, and such indica-tors as «communicative skills» among students of the 2nd year and «Organizational skills» in the 4th year increased by 2 levels.
