Abstract

Based on the research of special literature, the article considers the project method as a means of training future automation engineers at the University. Industrial modernization encourages the search for new pedagogical approaches in technical universities, which are aimed at individual development of the individual, creative initiative, independence, the formation of universal skills of future automation engineers to solve problems which arise in life - professional career, self-determination, daily life. Project activity stimulates students’ educational interest, broadens their minds, develops independent work skills: the ability to reveal and formulate a problem, find and select the necessary information, and use it to solve the tasks set. Using the project method in teaching a foreign language allows future automation engineers to use a foreign language to understand and explain their ideas, understand and accept the ideas of foreign specialists. This is one of the best ways to attract students’ attention to language communication and involve them in learning the world around them through a foreign language. The main task for teachers is to raise interest, motivate future automation engineers and involve them in the work environment.
