Modeling the Professional Competences Building Process in Engineering Higher Education Establishments

This article considers the issue of modeling the process of building competences of a prospective engineer. The authors have shown a way to enable developmental teaching to comply with requirements of competence-based engineering education which is performed through innovative efficient ways. The article suggests that in the framework of reproduction methods the objective of competences building can never be attained. The authors believe that a competent specialist can be formed through consciousness development. This paper proposes a range of principles governing the process of professional competences building.
