Abstract
The article discusses the main trends in the process of building creativity in engineering students. It is highlighted that the productivity of an engineer's activity is determined not only by modern techniques and technologies, but also by the personal potential of the engineer as a creator. The authors investigate the problem of shaping the qualities of a creative personality in engineering students and the development of professionally important competences. The authors' study of the views of various researchers made it possible to identify the main trends in the formation of creative thinking among students in a technical university. Particular attention is paid to the technical bilingualism of the future specialist. It becomes a prerequisite for future success in the profession. Fluent knowledge of a foreign language and the ability to read technical documentation in another language on a par with Russian makes an engineer in demand, and creates more realistic conditions for Russia's integration into the world system of industrial relations. Some directions for the development of students' creative thinking are shown.

Summary
Almost every day we all receive information about the coronavirus infection situation from various sources. University teaching staff, being on the «cutting edge» in terms of the number of social contacts since the introduction of restrictive measures, have been forced to switch to an online format, to learn and be able to work in various distance learning (DL) systems. When considering the creative potential of a future university graduate, it should be noted that, for a very long time, the entire process of engineering specialist development was a technical policy. The production and technological aspect were the leading one, leading to a logic that was obsolete in every sense of the word to develop a new generation of specialists with creative outlines. The opportunities for the development of a young specialist as a person were determined by the logic of technological development
