Abstract

Abstract This article describes the experience of organising pedagogical monitoring over students majoring in Technosphere Safety at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. Here are presented the methods of organisation, the gained results, and the practical applicability of the latter. The pedagogical monitoring was carried out over the course of seven years, having the students and the teaching staff of the Technosphere Safety high school involved.
