Formation of future engineers' readiness for professional activity: a control stage of a pedagogical experiment

the article discusses some aspects of the control stage of the pedagogical experiment, which was attended by students in the fields of training (specialty): "Information communication technologies and communication systems" (ITSS) orientation (profile) "Corporate information communication systems and networks" and "Electric power and electrical engineering" (EE) orientation (profile) "Electric power systems and networks" Departments of Radio Electronics and Electric Power Engineering (REEPE) of Surgut State University. The purpose of the article is to determine the level of training of future engineers at the end of their studies in an innovative educational environment of a university focused on training specialists in the field of communications and electric power industry. Tasks: to analyze some aspects of scientific literature (competence-based approach, control stage of pedagogical experiment, readiness of future engineers for professional activity); to select criteria and indicators of the level of professional competence formation at the end of training; to process and substantiate the research results using mathematical statistics methods. The formation of future engineers' readiness for professional activity in such areas as information and communication technologies, communication systems and electric power engineering, electrical engineering, is important to ensure high-quality education and training of specialists who can work effectively in a rapidly changing technological world. The purpose of the control stage of the study is to determine the readiness of future communication and energy engineers in the disciplines of the main professional educational program in terms of forming the level of professional competencies. The experimental methodology is based on the analysis of theoretical aspects of scientific literature (competence approach, control stage of pedagogical experiment, readiness of future engineers for professional activity), application of testing methods and mathematical statistics. The data obtained can be used in further work with bachelors in the areas of training, as well as the adjustment of the main professional educational program. As a result of the theoretical analysis of the main aspects of the article, special attention was paid to the training of future communication and energy engineers. Two groups participated in the pedagogical experiment – the control group (ITSS) and the experimental group (EE). The level of professional competence formation in the control group is lower than in the experimental group by 7.3%. The obtained level shows one of the components of the formation of readiness in terms of the formation of professional competencies.
