The article aims to study the structure of and improve the model for the fostering of managerial competencies to solve the problems of a technological breakthrough in the domestic economy. The authors apply their proprietary approach that makes it possible to reveal the range of interdisciplinarity and to specify its content. Methods and tools for mastering the competencies in demand are developed. As the empirical base which proves the validity of their сonclusions, the authors cite their own research as well as the results of the analysis of educational programs in engineering management implemented at the leading universities of the world, and the expert opinions of the heads of energy enterprises and professors of Russian universities. The paper analyzes the key factors in the formation of interdisciplinary competencies: a management paradigm towards which the educational process is oriented, a model of knowledge and skills that is adequate to the content of the tasks of a technological breakthrough, a methodology for analyzing interdisciplinary relationships in managerial decisions. The article outlines the relevant experience of training managers of various levels by the Department of Energy Management Systems and Industrial Enterprises of Ural Federal University.The study is scientifically novel as it discovers a new approach to understanding interdisciplinarity when determining the managerial competencies necessary for a technological breakthrough. The practical significance of the article is due to the fact that it presents the experience of implementing the developed approach to the training of managers with an increased readiness to constantly embrace and implement future technologies.

The article substantiates the need for a radical review of approaches to the training of managers in high technological industries, whose professional activity context is defined by continuous crises, growing uncertainty, dynamic trends, the massive emergence of the newest technical, organizational, and IT solutions, and a profound transformation of markets. Building upon their own research, analysis of expert opinions from top managers, university professors and the best practices of the world's leading universities, the authors identify trends indicating the growing role of the fundamental knowledge possessed by managers, who are capable of raising up to the challenges of an unstable environment. Links are determined between fundamental training and the flexibility of managerial thinking. A conceptual vision is presented of the peculiarities of managerial thinking and of conditions for developing its flexibility in the educational process.The scientific novelty of the article includes arguments substantiating the need for stepping up fundamental training in line with objective demand for changes in the content of managerial functions. Such training is based on three components: methodology of anticipatory management; scientific and technological foundations of production and technologies of the future; a vision of professional activity and changes that will be brought about by the introduction of new technologies. On the applied side, the authors have designed a concrete structure of fundamental training and a mix of training methods that promote flexibility of thinking and have proved effective as part of Masters in Management programs.

The article is devoted to priority solutions for launching systemic transformations of managerial education for the technological breakthrough. The basis for the development of such decisions was the scientific direction “Proactive Management in Actively Developing Industries and Economic Sectors”, in which the authors work, and the experience in creating educational products that meet the latest trends, including those that have appeared recently.The research methodology included analysis of scientific literature on the problems of complex systems development, proactive management and anticipatory training, systematization of educational practices for managers in foreign and domestic universities, conducting surveys of experts – heads of Russian large industrial enterprises, professors and students.The key reasons for the unsatisfactory state of management education are identified and a set of recommendations for its reform has been developed. Changes in organizational models of managerial education are proposed, the principles of implementing fundamental training and enhancing the humanization of education with a simultaneous increase in the level of knowledge of the scientific and technical foundations of production process are formulated. The conditions of increasing the effectiveness of students’ practical training are considered, the forms of its implementation are determined to ensure the readiness of graduates to work in managerial positions. The results of long-term studies of anticipatory training, from managers at the lower levels to directors of large companies, are carried out. These results were obtained in the scientific and educational center “INZHEK” of the Ural Federal University and tested at various levels of management education (bachelor’s, master’s degrees).The results of the study are of practical interest to managers and professors of universities, business schools and corporate universities, as well as to top managers of business structures involved in improving personnel training.

Аннотация. Статья посвящена изучению процессов трансформации инновационной технологии обучения в условиях типового образовательного процесса. Исследование проведено на примере технологии сквозного проектирования, разработанной на основе методологии CDIO в соответствии с её стандартами, для бакалавриата по технических направлениям подготовки. В исследовании использовались методы экспертной оценки, письменного опроса, контент-анализа, структурно-логического и статистического анализа. В качестве экспертов выступали инженеры конструкторских подразделений промышленных предприятий, преподаватели инженерных дисциплин университета и студенты бакалавриата. Проведён обзорный анализ понимания образовательной инновации, имеющийся в научной литературе. Представлено сжатое описание технологии сквозного проектирования для учебно-производственного практикума, соответствующей критериям образовательной инновации. На основе экспертной оценки сделан детальный анализ влияния условий типового образовательного процесса вуза на изменение указанной технологии обучения на уровне характеристик учебной работы студентов и её результатов. Представлены данные об изменении инновационной технологии по критериям 12 стандартов CDIO, а также данные о её влиянии на формирование твёрдых и мягких навыков инженеров до и после адаптации. Проведён сравнительный анализ оценок изменений технологии обучения, сделанный студентами и экспертами, на основе которых обоснованы выводы о: 1) характере деградации образовательной инновации при внедрении её в типовой процесс обучения; 2) особой роли первых этапов технологии сквозного проектирования для формирования эффективных на-иНжеНерНая педагогика engineering PedAgogy 150 иНжеНерНая педагогика Высшее образование в России. 2023.

Также выдвинута гипотеза о причинах низкой эффективности образовательных инноваций в учебном процессе вузов.
