Abstract
The article considers the current state of engineering education in Europe in general and in Russia in particular in the light of the need to meet employers’ requirement to graduates, and the role of practice-oriented learning technologies in this process. The demand for graduates on the labour market and their competitiveness is seen as the main indicator of the education system ability to react and adapt to the market demands. Thus the employers’ requirements should be one of the most important drivers for the learning process. And the practice-oriented learning technologies are given as the most effective answer to these needs as they imply involvement of the employer and solution of real-world tasks and problems.
Highlights
As it is stated in the London Communique : “
As we look ahead we recognise that, in a changing world, there will be a continuing need to adapt our higher education systems to ensure that EHEA remains competitive and can respond effectively to the challenges of globalisation...” [1]
The content of engineering educational programmes and teaching and learning technologies used today, as a rule, do not allow forming future specialists qualities required by employers
Summary
As it is stated in the London Communique : “. As we look ahead we recognise that, in a changing world, there will be a continuing need to adapt our higher education systems to ensure that EHEA remains competitive and can respond effectively to the challenges of globalisation...” [1]. The need for the education system being able to provide appropriate and timely responses to emerging challenges of the society is evident. The demand for graduates on the labour market, their competitiveness is one of the indicators of such ability. The academic community is widely discussing how yet to prepare specialists who are modern, competitive, demanded by the market, and if there are special methods to train them
