The relevance of the problem under study lies in the consideration of the integration of education, science and production, which contributes to the formation of universal skills and is of great importance in the training of necessary specialists in technical universities. Rapid technological changes in industry require higher education institutions to give not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical skills to students that can be obtained in real production conditions. The integration of education, science and production and its transformation allows us to prepare competitive specialists ready for current challenges. The aim of the article is to identify the principles of organizing the educational process in universities that contribute to meeting the needs of industrial enterprises, taking into account modern realities. As part of the study, we analyzed and synthesized scientific and methodological literature, which makes it possible to identify the key principles of integrating education, science and production: 1) interdependence of education, science and production; 2) symbiosis; 3) functionality; 4) compatibility. For each principle, the content is defined that gives a chance to reduce the gap between theoretical knowledge obtained during training and practical knowledge acquired not only during practical and laboratory classes, but also during various types of practices during the training of students at universities. The article considers how the integration of education, science and production can significantly improve the quality of training, making it more targeted and effective. The results of this study emphasize the importance of using modern pedagogical technologies and methods to create conditions in which students can integrate academic knowledge with practical experience, which is a key factor in successful learning and training of future specialists. Cooperation between an educational institution and industrial partners allows students to gain real work experience in the chosen field even before graduation, understand the importance of the chosen profession and reduce the time of adaptation to industrial environment when applying for a job.
