Training of engineering personnel for the sustainable development of the regional petrochemical complex
The implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals is a strategic priority of the companies of the fuel and energy complex of the Russian Federation, including the companies of the Republic of Tatarstan. The strategy of sustainable development of industrial enterprises includes several elements - economic, environmental and social aspects. This article analyzes the prospects and results of the implementation of programs for the sustainable development of the regional petrochemical complex: increasing economic efficiency through the use of safe innovative technologies, the introduction of perspective technologies that reduce the amount of industrial waste; the use of energy-efficient technologies, etc. This made it possible to determine the tasks of engineering training, taking into account the requirements of employers. Currently, the employer is focused on a graduate specialist who possesses not only professional competencies, but also "flexible" - supra-professional, and digital competencies. That is, the engineering education system requires the training of specialists who will be competent in various fields and able to transform their knowledge, skills and abilities from one field of activity to another.Close mutually beneficial cooperation between the university and the employer - an industrial enterprise, contributes to the transformation of the system of training engineering specialists. It includes: changes in the organization of the educational process with the use of modern educational technologies (digitalization of pedagogical activity), the development of digital competencies by a university graduate, etc. The university also practices interdisciplinary training of graduate specialists, which allows them to master managerial, analytical and other skills that will allow them to be successful in building a career trajectory in the future. Digitalization of pedagogical activity contributes to the professional development of university teachers, as skills and abilities are needed for the effective use of distance learning technologies. In addition, the article explores the possibilities of improving the educational process of training engineers, shows the potential of cooperation between industrial companies and universities for the implementation of sustainable development goals.
