ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНАЯ ИНЖЕНЕРНАЯ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТЬ: ПРОБЛЕМА НАДЕЖНОСТИ

Abstract

The intensive development of new technologies creates special conditions for the implementation of labor functions by specialists in various professional fields. The most active introduction of innovations and technological advances takes place in the activities of large and small industries. It is at this stage that a peculiar assessment of the quality and «usefulness» of the results of engineering solutions introduced into practical operation takes place. This is fully felt in the form of reliable operation of products, increased labor efficiency, saving working time, leveling production risks and improving the economic well-being of the enterprise. An engineer, as a representative of senior technical professions, able to optimize and improve the work of an individual workshop and organization as a whole, becomes a key figure for the entire general production cycle. It should be noted that a huge number of engineering professions are represented on the modern labor market. At the same time, an engineer of different professional orientation, involved in various fields, carries fundamentally different loads and can perform functions different from the descriptions of classical engineering work. The intensive participation of an engineer, as a representative of technical professions in such fields as medicine, education, testifies to the high social importance of engineering work, and supports the relevance of the growing interest in the profession of engineer. In turn the direct relation to creation of technologies (designing, design, planning) or direct – the indirect relation to technical support of work of the enterprise staff, brings up the questions concerning reliability of engineering activity. The main developments of theoretical and applied nature, reflecting the specific features of engineering activities, its reliability, were carried out within the framework of engineering psychology and ergonomics. Traditionally, they reveal the essence of operator labor («man-operator») and the work of a specialist operating complex automated complexes («man-technician»). However, the replenishment of the list of engineering professions with new types, as well as the complication of professional tasks of generally recognized ones, the inclusion of new functions in them creates an applicant for a more detailed study of it.
