One of the features of the current stage in the development of the information society is intensive digitalization, the emergence of which is due to the improvement, evolution of new information and communication technologies (ICT), and the growth of digital technologies of the fourth industrial revolution (or Industry 4.0). In this regard, "digitalization" is one of the factors in the transformation of national engineering education. The article gives an analysis of the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to the modern training of future specialists in engineering and technology areas. It justifies the importance of mutual integration of knowledge at the level of ICT and fundamental engineering sciences on the example of integrating the disciplines "Computer Science" and "Mathematics" through information and mathematical modeling as well. The purpose of the research is to identify the impact of digitalization on the theoretical and methodological foundations of an interdisciplinary approach in national engineering education. The authors used the general scientific dialectical method, theoretical and methodological analysis and generalization of the content of mathematical, informational, pedagogical, methodological, scientific and technical literature in the field of foreign and national engineering education. Based on the results of the study, the concept of an integrated learning task in mathematics and computer science was proposed, which is based on a content and activity-oriented approach to information-mathematical modeling; the typology of integrated learning tasks in computer science and mathematics was identified and substantiated in accordance with the types of professional activity of specialists in engineering and technology. The significance and role of information-mathematical modeling as one of the basic (fundamental) methods for solving integrated learning tasks is shown. The need for the development of an interdisciplinary approach to the training of future engineers in the digital economy of Russia has been identified.
