Humanitarian aspects of project activity in the engineering high school: criteria for the efficiency of the interdisciplinary commands activity

Interdisciplinary integration in higher education institutions often boils down to integrating the knowledge component of different disciplines. At the same time, optimal technology should be recognized today as project activity. In the best engineering universities of the country, interdisciplinary project teams are being created today, where the best students, postgraduates, teachers, research staff of the university, and often representatives of business and industry are grouped around the innovative problems. The declared goal is the preparation of project teams consisting of specialists with unique interdisciplinary competences and capable of solving technical, managerial and other tasks of developing existing and future markets. Unfortunately, when evaluating the activities of such interdisciplinary project teams, selecting the evaluation criteria, the "engineering approach" is practiced too literally - we evaluate only the innovative product. In the article, the authors draw attention to some humanitarian aspects of the project activity at an engineering university and the need for psychological and pedagogical support for students activities in interdisciplinary project teams.
