The article is devoted to the study of the history of formation and development of the system of training of electronics engineers in Togliatti Polytechnic Institute.

The paper is devoted the problem of virtuality in engineering education in the widespread use of information technologies. The use of computer simulation in educational process allows speeding up the learning process and reducing the cost of education. However, the problem of virtuality of acquired knowledge appears since learning is not held on real physical objects, but on their computer models. The survey among students aims to show virtuality level of their knowledge. The authors offers specific system solutions of virtuality of acquired knowledge in learning process.

The paper deals with the main problems in the development of modern educational systems engineering education. Attention is drawn to the biosphere-the cosmological synthesis of engineering education. The necessity of the transition from one-dimensional and professional engineering education to globally-cultural is proved. The methods of reorientation toward fundamental integration of engineering and technical knowledge, constituting the content of academic disciplines are described. The authors offer graphical model of the teacher-researcher in the vocational education system.

the article is devoted to the implementation of early vocational orientation in engineering areas and presents the characteristics of the first ascertaining stage of a pedagogical experiment on the implementation of early vocational orientation in engineering professions for children aged 5 to 11 years in the conditions of the STEM center. The relevance of early professional orientation to the engineering professions of children aged 5 to 11 years in the current period of intensive development of technology and digitalization is justified, the experimental base, research methods and techniques, the results obtained, their comparative analysis are briefly described, the prospects for work at the subsequent stages of the experiment are determined.

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.
