Abstract

Currently, intellectualization processes cover all areas of activity, which is accompanied by an increase in the requirements for the competence of engineers. At the same time, interest of young people in obtaining an engineering education has decreased in many countries. The authors have studied the causes of this phenomenon. The article is devoted to analysis of relation between the quality of engineering education and the level of students motivation. Ways to increase motivation through the application of innovative technologies and creation the learning outcomes monitoring system are considered.
