“…This will be possible if students specifically strive to improve their abstract reasoning. Philosophy training would be beneficial too as Aközer, & Aközer (2016) suggest because it would empower engineers with the understanding that by engaging in complex communication practices involving the creation of new technology they participate in cultural and societal meaning making rather than been carried forth by established and stable societal practices and traditions (Lukianova & Fell, 2015).…”

Responding to the demands of the technology-driven global economy, engineers increase their technical competencies, improve cross-cultural communication skills, and become more innovative, entrepreneurial and flexible (Continental, 2006). As the demands on the engineer are increasing and the role of an engineer evolves and becomes more prominent, the importance of teaching engineering ethics to engineering students is increasing too. This article investigates current trends in the teaching of engineering ethics in the context of diverse approaches to evaluating the responsibility of an engineer. The article reveals the complexity of the issue, which confirms the need for future engineers to be competent in dealing with ethical dilemmas. The engineer must be aware of the fact that his or her invention will initiate a chain of events that will involve the use of this invention and will have various social, environmental and legal ramifications, which should be taken into account. The engineer must also be sufficiently prepared to make ethical decisions without sufficient guidance, as the full range of possible future scenarios cannot be foreseen.

“…A basic factor of communication environment in the Internet space is a language game that creates new values, contexts and communicative situations (Lukianova, 2015). The scenario of interaction between its users-visitors is defined by the fact of participating this game, the possibility to move in the certain discourse field, the need to include into this solid text-context, the exchange of information and chaotically constructed arguments that become indistinguishable being broken away from the original facts and situations.…”

The article considers topical issues of personal self-determination in the conditions of everincreasing complexity of information exchange in digital communication environments. The ideas of cyber-anthropology on the informational nature of personality are under debate. The purpose of the article is to reveal the correlation between philosophical and informational approaches to the individual consciousness unity in the interpretation of a self-identification process in terms of a multi-agent system. Analysis of information and semantic structures in the process of personal identification is based on system methodology and the cognitive paradigm. The new practices of information consumption, selfrepresentation, community organization, manipulations with technological artefacts in everyday life are emphasized to form digital generation representatives' clip thinking and cognitive orientation towards fractal narrative as a way of creating narratives, concepts, and cognitive practices. The process of selfidentification is closed in the circle of virtuality. The consciousness unity, which maintains integrity of the personality, is replaced by the modules of digital cyberspace. The Internet can be associated with a creative laboratory where a modern human being experiments with his own identity. The opportunity to experiment with one's identity in virtual environment leads to the fact that in the modern world personal identity is constantly being transformed and thus remains incomplete. A "virtual person", exercising one's self-identification many times in a digital space, turns into a function of the information technology structure and loses its individuality.

“…New intellectual and virtual environments creation, their comprehension and interpretation constitute the basic function of human adaptation in the world around, which is perceived through knowledge and understanding symbols (Lukianova & Fell, 2015). Humanitarian control of information environments is extremely important for proper functioning of the techno sphere and sustainable development of society in the post-informational stage, when the growth of informational and semantic pressure in the network is most clearly manifested (Gursoy & Celikoz, 2017), criteria of understanding and the boundaries of person's real life world are being eroded.…”

The article is devoted to the problem of humanitarian control of interactions in modern technological culture. Particular attention is paid to the technology of information manipulation, the relationship of digital culture and the individual lifeworld. The objectives of the article include identification of the specifics of interacting subjects in information environments, clarifying the principles of their design in the network order. The need is stressed for a civilizational approach that emphasizes the relevance of ethical relationship as the basis for the humanitarian control over the design of interactions in technogenic environments. Nowadays, civilization is interpreted as a "society of knowledge" that unites the components of the technosphere and the political, ethical, cultural, mental aspects of social life. The study is conducted in terms of the interdisciplinary approach, in which context any object is treated as a sociotechnical one, included into the communication environment and into the system of subject interactions. The article specifies the methods of subject interactions design in information environments. The practical aspect of interactions designing technology is demonstrated in the process of making optimal decisions when a new product is created. The main conclusion is that in the network space, the interaction of human and technology should be considered from the standpoint of partner relations.
