The urgency of the problem under study is dictated by the trends in the formation of the global educational space, as well as the increasing role of information communication technologies and distance learning technologies in educational practice. Under the current conditions in the education system, it is necessary to create an organizational and educational structure specializing in design-network and scientific-service support for the innovative development of educational organizations called “educational co-working”. This article is devoted to the analysis of this structure. The aim of the research is to analyze functioning of the co-working research and educational space and its digital version as a network design platform for cooperation of young scientists, educators and innovators, Russian and foreign scientists and experts, operating on the basis of Pyatigorsk State University. The study was conducted using the method of comparative analysis of co-working spaces design in economic systems, sociological research, and business education. The authors use the method of conceptual modeling of educational polypositional space to co-organize subjects of the scientific and educational process at the university. The analysis resulted in the formulation of key characteristics of the co-working educational space model. The model of the co-working educational space allows us to ensure the satisfaction of the educational and adaptation needs of individual participants, real companies, the needs of modern society using the potential of the educational space of the Caucasian Mineral Waters region. The practical significance of the results is in the description of social technologies aimed at developing and improving the practice of teaching undergraduates, graduate and postgraduate students the fundamentals of project activities; description of distance learning technologies use in the electronic version of co-working space; description of academic student-expert communities establishment in universities.

In the context of the digital civilization challenges of modern labor market, in particular Industry 4.0, the problem of formation and development of digital competencies for modern engineering specialists becomes rather urgent. The fundamental basis of almost any digital technology is a synthesis of the opportunities and achievements of such sciences as Computer Science and Mathematics. In order for the future professional activity of an engineer to be successful, it is necessary to develop the digital competences of students, using the didactic potential of interdisciplinary integration, which is implemented in the process of information and mathematical training of engineers. The purpose of the study: search for possible optimal ways to implement information and mathematical training for future engineers in universities for Industry 4.0. The contextual-competence and CDIO approaches in the organization of the educational process are analyzed in the article. The novelty of this research: it determines the content of digital competences of a future engineer in the context of information and mathematical modeling application for solving practice-oriented problems of interdisciplinary character. The authors consider information and mathematical modeling as one of the factors for the effective development of digital skills of technical university students on the example of organizing their independent work. The theoretical analysis of research on the topic made it possible to highlight the didactic opportunities of information and mathematical modeling in the digital educational environment. The article presents the author's method of using information and mathematical modeling tools for the development of digital competences of future engineers, necessary in Industry 4.0. in the context of digital transformation of professional engineering education. This study opens up prospects for continuing research on the development of digital competences of future engineers. The interpretation of the opportunities for integrating Computer Science and Mathematics given by the authors can be recommended to a wide range of teaching staff at Computer Science and Mathematics departments of technical universities for the use in their work.

A modern highly qualified engineer must have an up-to-date set of digital competences that are essential for a successful professional career in the digital era. One of the characteristic features of digitization is the integration of sciences, which is especially evident in the use of digital technologies. In this regard, it is necessary to develop the digital competences of students, using the didactic potential of intersubject integration carried out in the process of information and mathematical training of engineers. The purpose of the work is to study the implementation of information and mathematical training of students from technical universities under the conditions of the globalization of Industry 4.0. The article analyzes the contextual competence-oriented and CDIO approaches in organizing the educational process at a technical university. The novelty of this research: the scientific and methodological apparatus for enhancing the student's activity in solving practice-oriented problems of interdisciplinary content has been expanded by including the optimizing tasks of "contextual" content in the learning process. The authors consider the activity of solving the optimizing tasks of "contextual" content as one of the conditions for the development of digital skills for a student of a technical university. The conducted theoretical analysis of research works on the topic made it possible to highlight the didactic opportunities of the optimizing tasks of "contextual" content and to highlight the digital technologies used to solve them. The article provides a methodology for the development of digital competences of future engineers worked out by the authors through a system of optimization tasks of "contextual" content. This study initiates possible prospects for further research on the development of digital competences for future engineers. The variant of the typology of the optimizing tasks of "contextual" content presented by the authors should be recommended to a wide range of teaching staff of information and mathematical departments of technical universities for using in scientific, methodological and practical work.
