“…It should be noted that the most organic process of transition occurs during the polytechnization of the process of classical education. The tasks of polytechnic education for students in the specialty of hydraulic engineering are discussed in detail in the work [16]. The methodology of organizing the polytechnic education and combining it with the introduction of BIM technologies are described in the works [17][18][19].…”

The work is devoted to the introduction of building information modeling (BIM) technologies in the field of hydraulic engineering. Prospects of transition to digital technologies of design, management of process of construction and operation are given. A number of factors complicating the transition to work within BIM have been identified. The importance of personnel training for building information modeling is noted. The problems of joint work of several generations of specialists in one team, various experience and professional skills that are used in the design and operation of building structures are considered. With timely improvement of software, development of the regulatory framework and appropriate personnel's training, the transition to the BIM technologies will provide the necessary development of the hydrotechnical industry. The development of the system of graduate's competencies taking into account the training of BIM technologies is offered. The options for implementing the building information modeling concept into the educational process of builders-hydraulic engineers are discussed. 2. Materials and method Unlike work in traditional CAD systems, work in the BIM-oriented complexes allows you to simulate not only building objects, but also to control their characteristics and their changes over time [3, 4].

“…On the contrary, in paper [4] the author believes that education for hydraulic engineering passes to the development of new thinking skills that can be integrated with interactive educational technologies that give advantages and avoid passive attitude among students. The tasks of polytechnic education for students in the field of hydraulic engineering are discussed in detail in [5], where the importance of practical experience gained by students during the education, the balance of the study of disciplines on the mechanics of building materials, engineering surveys and design are noted.…”

Hydrotechnical construction has always been considered a prestigious profession, which attracted the most talented students. The international practice of education also involves the allocation of transport maritime engineering from general and civil construction. The Institute of Water Transport in the structure of Admiral Makarov State University of Maritime and Inland Shipping considers the development of polytechnic education for the specialty of hydrotechnical construction as an urgent task for the future. Gradual transition to the system of polytechnic education is carried out by conducting laboratory practices and works in the field, where students independently participate in engineering surveys, studies of natural materials and soil, perform geodetic work. A new trend in development for hydraulic engineering construction is the use of building information modelling (BIM) technologies for the life cycle of structures. The introduction of BIM technologies should radically improve and interlink all the directions of design, construction and operation of such unique objects as water transport hydraulic structures. We give several examples of the introduction of polytechnic education in the system of training specialists of various levels (bachelor, master and specialist) for hydraulic engineering construction of water transport facilities, which corresponds to the best world practices. The results in the formation of new professional skills and competencies are based on the application of system analysis and a unified methodology for the synthesis of various construction disciplines that are logically related and focused on the solution of assigned tasks.

Benjamin D. Goffin previously earned a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering Technology from Bluefield State University and a Master of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Virginia. He gained several years of practical experience with an engineering firm in the greater Boston area prior to rejoining the University of Virginia and undertaking his doctoral work. Funded through a Jefferson Scholars Foundation Fellowship and recently part of the NASA DEVELOP National Program, his current research aims to advance the remote sensing of terrestrial processes and provide decision-relevant information not available by other means.
