The author determines the need for the promotion of students’ creative activity and reveals its essence based on the analysis of foreign and domestic scientists works on the development of the creative potential of future specialists in the technical field. Creative potential is usually associated with the shaping of social skills, the assimilation of historical experience, the correlation of cultural and historical consciousness and professional competencies. The problem of creative personality development in a technical university is solved on the basis of an integrated approach to the creation of universities educational space. This space includes educational, scientific, and social activities of students, traditional and innovative forms of work with students, the motivation of students in relation to professional activities, the active use of interdisciplinary methods in training, and the combination of practice-oriented training of future specialists with the development of universal skills.

The determination of interdisciplinary connections, the development of skills to solve cognitive and technological issues in the frame of interdisciplinarity is of great heuristic value, what forms the specific knowledge necessary for professional activities. The comprehension of moral aspects of science, issues of engineering ethics, and the analysis of the complex relationships “man–society–nature” as a part of construction and creative activity are of particular importance, they become open for research in intersubject communications.
