Description
Summary:In a modern high-tech society, engineering education requires constant attention, as it is an important resource for innovative development of the economy and ensuring national security. Analysis of trends and problems of engineering education, reflected in scientific publications of recent years, suggests that there is a lack of research devoted to the teaching of specific technical disciplines that form the foundation of the professional culture of young engineers. As a consequence, the topic of this article is relevant. Based on the analysis of educational standards, scientific and methodological literature, as a result of studying and generalizing pedagogical experience, the article defines the role and place of materials science in the structure of the training of a modern engineer. Problems are singled out, goals, means, methods, results and principles of teaching the discipline "Materials Science and Heat Treatment of Modern Materials" are formulated. An example of the use of active teaching methods in the teaching process is presented. The results obtained allow us to determine the directions for further improvement of the teaching of materials science and other technical disciplines to engineering students. And since in a technologically advanced society material science largely determines both the level of functioning and security of the state and the comfort of the everyday life of an individual, the problems of improving the training of specialists in this field may be of interest to a wide range of readers of the journal.
