摘要

The conceptual provisions of professional retraining and advanced training of educators of engineering universities have been formulated. It is shown that the system of pedagogical competencies is a main indicator of the activities of a modern educator. Requirements for the competencies of educators of engineering universities are formulated in accordance with the criteria of the International Society for Engineering Pedagogy (?Internationale Geselschaft für Ingenieur P?dagogik?/?International Society for Engineering Pedagogy?
