Formation of the Competences of Social Interaction at the Technical University

Abstract

The article is devoted to the matters of the formation of universal competences as the basis of higher technical education taking into account the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standards of Higher Education FSES HE 3+ and FSES HE 3++. The necessity of integration of social and humanitarian disciplines into the process of professional engineering training is proved. The authors describe their work on the development of the training course |Principles of Legislation and Social Interaction in Construction”, which united the disciplines “Psychology”, “Sociology”, “Political science”, “Law”. Authors have suggested to use the concept "Me" as the key element of this course, emphasizing personal responsibility of an individual for the social interaction. The authors present the results of the comparative analyses of the progress of the students, who studied the new course and those, who studied traditional separate disciplines. They prove that the results, gained within the competence approach, are significantly better, than the results, possible in case of the use of the traditional approach.
