Abstract

The principles and approaches of polytechnic education are continuously developing all over the world and combine studies in natural and applied sciences with broad practice. The historical aspects of the development of polytechnic education in Europe, as a set of professional engineering skills with entrepreneurial and managerial knowledge, have proved itself well over the past 150 years. We present the results of researches of changes in polytechnic education, which was developed on example of Admiral Makarov State University of Maritime and Inland Shipping, where studies are based on the formation of skills in the field of design, technological and research activities for water transport facilities and infrastructure. Shipping companies and enterprises from the water transport complex have been increasing the volumes of cargo transportation for the last 15-20 years, while infrastructure facilities and hydraulic structures do not always manage to increase the capacity for transshipment of weight. Constraining factor for intensive development is the conservatism of education, because in the existing format students do not acquire the necessary skills and new professions. The solution of this problem is the transition to forms of polytechnic education, which is carried out at the Institute of Water Transport. The complexity of constructing a new model of education for the development of polytechnic competences is a shortage of study time, which is supposed to be compensated by using the modern teaching technologies. In the future, taking into account competition in the labor market, we see the main directions for improving the quality of polytechnic education in the use of information technology, virtual simulators, introduction in BIM-technologies and the life cycle of marine transport infrastructure.
