Formation of the competitiveness of oil engineers in terms of higher education

Abstract

The article deals with the phenomenon of "competitiveness" in higher education. The competitiveness of any enterprise directly depends on the qualifications of specialists, their competitiveness, and therefore, on the quality of training in higher education: the formation of professional competence. Training plays a key role in this matter. The author claims that the formation of professional competence is possible subject to the pedagogical conditions that were identified on the basis of the analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature: 1) encouraging students to recognize the subjective position in future professional activity, in our case, foreign language; 2) activation of the elements of foreign language training for future engineers; 3) the practice-oriented nature of training and the presence in students of the possibility of manifesting independent, unconventional productive professional thinking.
