Abstract

Modern engineering professionalism involves not only the development of the scientific foundations of engineering design, but also the awareness of the goals, meanings and objectives of engineering. The article is devoted to the study of issues of professional socialization of technical students (future engineers). The empirical basis of the study was the results of a mass survey of students as a part of the seventh stage of sociological monitoring of Ural students (bachelors in engineering educational programs). The influence of contradictions in the development of modern engineering on the processes of forming a professional ethos for future holders of engineering diplomas is substantiated. It has been established that in the structure about a future profession of students of a technical profile, the significance of factors of free creativity is constantly decreasing. Analysis of changes in students' professional plans revealed an increase in the dominant trend of a decrease in the number of students planning to work in their specialty after graduation.
