The educational and methodological conference "models and methods of teaching in conditions of improving the quality of engineering education" has ended at the International University of Engineering and Technology within the framework of the Winter School-2024.

The event featured presentations by experts on the methodology of higher education, further improvement of the quality of educational activities, the introduction of a new IT discipline, and digitalization of business processes. The rector of the International University of Engineering and Technology Gulnara Sarsenbekova made the first speech, who opened the conference: "at the educational and methodological conference at the international level, models and methods of teaching to improve the quality of engineering education were discussed. This is a platform that will make a positive contribution to the development of the domestic engineering sector, and not just the university. At the event scheduled for a week, scientists and experienced teachers, based on their research and experience, presented the latest news in this area to the public. I am sure that such meetings will allow us to prepare a high-quality specialist""

Then the participants, who took over the reins of their topic, gave some information on engineering education and finally continued the discussion. So, Doctor of Economics, Professor of the Department of Economics and Business Sedep Mirzhakypova ASSA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants), who made a report on the implementation of international programs, noted that the international method of knowledge assessment and the implementation of an international program has been launched in the training system using an international certificate similar to an international certificate recognized for further building up this cooperation, shared his thoughts. "In this context, thanks to the establishment of relations with leading educational institutions of the world, it is necessary to develop the side of experience exchange," said Darkhan Berikovich, Deputy Rector of the International University of Engineering and Technology for Academic Affairs and Industrial Practice, who spoke in detail about the competitiveness of the curriculum and improving the quality and effectiveness of engineering education, noting that in the future He noted that at the same time, work has been done in this area. They also discussed artificial intelligence, the introduction of the discipline "creative project", the innovative possibilities of blockchain technology, and improving the quality of knowledge through digital technologies. As a result, innovations in the field of training engineering and technical specialists were analyzed and a special resolution was adopted.

So, from now on, the process of including employers in the commission for lecturing, conducting experimental laboratory work, supervising the work of diploma and master`s theses, as well as final certification by involving them in the educational process will be considered. That is, business representatives and employers should agree on a curriculum for the disciplines "Blockchain technologies", "digital currency" and involve employees with experience working with blockchain technologies in the implementation of these training programs. In addition, starting from the new academic year, HITU plans to introduce an international knowledge assessment method into the learning system using an international certificate similar to the international organization ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants). Most importantly, in order to establish close ties between the student and the employer, the format of offline reading, online lectures and the organization of work on the exchange of experience in enterprises will not be ignored. The educational institution plans to introduce the subject "artificial intelligence" into the educational program system of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education in the updated educational program for students accepted for the 2024-2025 academic year. In addition, it was instructed to study and apply the approach of linguistic coaching in the process of teaching a foreign language, to use the "creative project" discipline as a model of teaching in the new academic year, to develop similar models for the introduction of this discipline into the educational process by departments.

High-quality education is the key to a bright future. In this context, the teachers of the International University of Engineering and Technology, taking into account their experience, have developed a list of mass open online courses and put on the agenda full-fledged equipment with software and technical means necessary to create high-quality educational content. Of course, this will contribute to the active implementation of the results of scientific research into the educational process of the university, holding a summer trial session in a new format through the digitalization of business processes. And the leading educational institution, whose goal is to combine higher education and science, to give students a deep and high-quality education, intends to start training an engineer in a new way.
