The Latest Trends in The Professional Training of Masters in the Field of Engineering and Technology

Abstract

The article talks about the latest trends in the professional training of masters in the field of engineering and technology. Its goal is to highlight and summarize these trends, to find out the general and the excellent, which can be used for the further development of multistage of higher education. Mostly, we used theoretical methods - selection, analysis, generalization of the latest trends in modern scientific and methodological literature, as well as elements of a comparative typological analysis of educational systems. In the course of the study, the authors found out: a characteristic feature of master's programs in Western European countries and the United States is the profile specialization and duration of study, which is determined by the requirements of the state and the system of organizing training in a particular university. Education at this stage is created according to individual programs, where the student and the scientific adviser participate jointly. An analysis of the training of masters in the field of engineering and technology in foreign countries indicates that the master's level in differentiation is preliminarily acquired on the basis of the obtained bachelor's level: master-practitioner and master-scientist. When preparing masters, national traditions of countries are taken into account and special attention is paid to practice. International significance of the article: the article summarizes the latest changes in the professional training of masters in the field of engineering and technology, which can be used in reforming the educational systems of developing countries. Also, the article is of interest to historians of education and specialists in comparative typological education.
