In modern society socio-economic culture has received wide demand since every educated person is a full subject of economic relations, should own it. The article is devoted to the formation of the socio-economic culture of future engineers. Socio-economic training as a learning process is the mastering of a system of special socio-economic knowledge by students and the formation of socio-economic skills and abilities based on them. The authors believe that one of the most necessary pedagogical tools that meet the requirements of the Federal state educational standards that can have the best influence on the formation of the culture in question is imitational teaching methods.

The article proposes effective indicators of the use of imitation methods, their specific types are given and their essence is revealed. The levels of formation of the socio-economic culture are determined. The results of the presented research, conducted among future engineers, showed a significant improvement in the preparation of students after using simulation methods, which draws attention to the significance of their use.
