Abstract

The article reviews and analyses using of system approach to the analysis of professional competence of an engineer. Engineers’ training upgrading is one of the most important acmeological tasks. An engineer, as a subject of innovative activity, is the central figure of scientific and technological progress; the implementation of the tasks that the country solves depends to a great extent on his independence, professional competence, readiness for constant self-training. It is determined that any professional activity arises based on the needs of a society. However, as a professional one, engineering activity was generated only by large-scale machine production, which required the development of a certain system of knowledge, abilities and skills as the basis of expedient human activity. With the growth and complexity of industrial production, the engineering activity was mainstreamed, the proportion of engineers in the total number of industrial production personnel increased, there were structural changes in the engineering and technical workforce. At the same time, their professional qualifications were changing. Effective engineering demanded further expansion of technical, sociological and fundamental general technical knowledge, their accumulation, i.e. spacious mind and at the same time the ability to understand narrow specific issues in accordance with the specialization. When analyzing the course units programs of the specialties of this profile, it was found out that the basis for most of the skills listed above should be laid in the classroom session (lectures, seminars and laboratory classes). Moreover, the formation of skills occurs in a variety of academic disciplines that have weak interdisciplinary connections. Unfortunately, the further development of the skills laid down at the previous stage of training is not always foreseen. This contributes poorly to the formation of the system of skills that students need so much for their future professional activities.
