Functional model of an engineering class at a university

The relevance of the study is based on the fact that the program of socio-economic development focuses on the expansion of science-intensive production focused on information and digital technologies. Therefore, the demand in engineers for modern production becomes the social order of society. The purpose of the study was to develop a functional model of the engineering class at the university. This will create conditions for the training of school graduates aimed at obtaining technical education with a high level of natural science and technological training. The paper is devoted to the problem: what is the functional model of the engineering class at the university? The functional model of the engineering class for high school students includes functional and structural components that ensure the formation of competencies among schoolchildren necessary for a future student mastering an engineering educational program. The following abilities of high school students serve the indicators of the efficiency of the developed model: ability to formulate and argue their point of view; work individually and as part of a team; master information and communication technologies; readiness for continuing education at the university and self-education; possession of the fundamentals of systemic thinking
