Managing the development of an engineering university based on new models of project-based learning

Abstract

   The article is devoted to the study of the existing experience of Russian engineering universities in the implementation of project-based learning practices. Project-based learning in modern socio-economic conditions, on the one hand, acts as a tool for individualizing the educational trajectories of students, on the other hand, provides opportunities for the development of existing and building new interactions between the university and its industrial partners, both in the direction of education and the joint implementation of innovative projects. According to the results of the scientific research, an analysis of the current situation with the organization of project-based learning in engineering universities was carried out; the prerequisites and prospects for the development of this direction were identified; a model of project-based learning was proposed, which implies a focus on building mutually beneficial interactions with industrial partners, while meeting the needs of students for the possibility of individualizing their educational trajectory. Based on the studied experience project-based learning in engineering universities and the results obtained, the prospect of further research was formulated. Topical issues are the scaling of project-based learning, the development and testing of mechanisms for the interaction of educational and extracurricular activities of students.
