Abstract
The modern educational environment should ensure the formation of general and professional (special) competencies of the future specialist. The high education of STEM specialties is impossible without modern information technologies and special software in modern conditions. Developer companies and stakeholders are interested in training students using modern calculation software and provide various opportunities for training. Educational programs gradually reduce the amount of practice classes, the use of special calculation software allows to carry out more necessary calculations in short time, illustrate the results, correct the mistakes, choose the optimal constructive solution, therefore, it contributes to the development of critical thinking and independent learning skills of the student. The practice of implementing information technologies into the education process from simple to complex software is widespread both in Ukraine and abroad. Using modern software activates practical learning, boosts professional identity, consciousness, motivation, and creation of the students. The article provides the calculation of the seepage pressure under the dam by the ordinary handmade method and by Seep/W software. The fourth-year bachelor's degree students carry out this calculation during the concrete dam design. The comparison of the calculation results by hand and by Seep/W PC was made. Modern engineering software are quite complex, require additional knowledge and practice skills, encourage students to survey additional information, which contributes to the development of the students individual trajectory. Most of the modern software are in English, which also stimulates the study of professional English vocabulary.
