HARMONIZED MASTER PROGRAMS AS A TOOL FOR ORGANIZING INTERDISCIPLINARY TRAINING OF ENGINEERS
The modern labor market demands engineers to be able to identify and solve complex problems at the intersection of various scientific and technological fields. The existing tools such as interdisciplinary courses and projects, or Double Degree programs either solve a particular, narrow spectrum of tasks or require significant resources to master. This article presents a fundamentally new approach to organizing systemic interdisciplinary training: harmonized master programs. Aim: to identify stakeholders’ demand for interdisciplinary training of engineers and to propose a mechanism for developing harmonized master programs. Methodology: a survey of potential employers’ and engineering bachelor students’ opinions was conducted to determine in-demand pairs of master programs, as well as the level of interest in applying for harmonized master programs. An algorithm for curricula harmonization has been developed. Results: the survey confirmed high interest in interdisciplinary training among both stakeholder groups and identified the most relevant combinations of majors. The developed algorithm for aligning two master programs includes decision support models for selecting pairs of programs, comparing competencies, distributing disciplines by category, and calculating the amount of credits for transfer. The overall workload of the two master programs can be reduced by up to 60 credits, allowing students to complete both programs in 2.5 years. This mechanism has been successfully piloted at Tomsk Polytechnic University during the launch of four harmonized master programs. The proposed approach ensures the development of interdisciplinary competencies demanded by the labor market and enhances the competitiveness of graduates, educational programs, and the university as a whole.

USING STUDENT SATISFACTION SURVEYS TO EVALUATE ONLINE COURSES
This study investigates the satisfaction of engineering students with online courses. A comprehensive assessment approach was employed, including the analysis of the Customer Satisfaction Index, the Net Promoter Score, the Technology Acceptance Model, the Expectancy-Disconfirmation Theory, and the Community of Inquiry framework. The research methodology involved a comprehensive analysis of questionnaire design principles for assessing satisfaction with online courses, focusing on factors such as technical accessibility, content quality, and tutor support. The results of this analysis informed the development of a questionnaire survey to collect data on student satisfaction with an online-course. Empirical data revealed that approximately 20% of students reported shortcomings related to technical aspects and the quality of textual materials. Based on a theoretical interpretation of the findings through the lenses of Technology Acceptance Model, Expectancy-Disconfirmation Theory, and Community of Inquiry, a set of practical recommendations was developed, with a central focus on feedback automation mechanisms. The study proposes specific solutions, including the integration of chatbots into Learning Management Systems, the use of learning analytics for proactive monitoring, natural language processing for qualitative data analysis, and the automation of content quality control. This research contributes to the theory and practice of online learning by demonstrating the benefits of a comprehensive assessment approach for optimizing the educational process and increasing student satisfaction, while also providing a toolkit for creating a continuously improving educational environment.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE EDUCATION OF FUTURE ENGINEERS: FOCUS ON THE SUBJECT AREA
The article discusses the impact of artificial intelligence on engineering education in the focus of teaching the discipline “Physics”. An attempt has been made to demonstrate the capabilities of artificial intelligence to solve the problems during the development of a physics course in engineering university, related to the low level of mathematical training of junior students, the difficulty of visualizing many abstract physical concepts, and a large volume of practical tasks. The authors proposed the methods of organizing teacher–student interaction when using artificial intelligence in the course of teaching physics. Based on an online survey of 326 students of 1–2 courses of technical training, conducted on the Yandex Forms platform, the authors revealed the involvement and attitude of students to using artificial intelligence during training. Most students treat artificial intelligence as an additional rather than the main source of learning. According to students, lecturers rarely discuss or formulate policies on the use of artificial intelligence, which is a significant uncertainty. The question of the possibility of officially introducing artificial intelligence into education is of interest to students, but also the need for clear rules and controls. In the course of the study of the opinion of teachers of the disciplines of the natural science cycle, it was revealed that they quite confidently perceive artificial intelligence as a technical assistant. The low level of their trust in artificial intelligence in making pedagogical decisions is due to a lack of practice and a lack of proven models. There is a potential for increased trust and willingness to adopt new approaches with methodological and administrative support. On the other hand, the introduction of artificial intelligence into the educational process poses the risk of losing the ability to think outside the box, becoming dependent, and diminishing the creative qualities of both teachers and students. This path requires rethinking and improving the didactic foundations of disciplines in engineering education.

“LIV ING FORCE” INTEGRAL AND REDUCTION OF THE ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION ORDER: METHODICAL PARALLEL BETWEEN TOPICS OF PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS COURSES
The paper considers the justification of the relationship between Newton’s second law and the law of conservation of energy in the simplest case, when we deal with rectilinear motion of a material point under the variable force. The mathematical demonstration of this relationship is compared with the reduction of the differential equation order, the method of solving of differential equations being studied at math classes by junior students – physicists and engineers. The preliminary analysis of modern scientific methodological publications shows the relevance of developing actual methods of linking academic disciplines. The consideration of materials taken from physics and mathematics courses allows us to create a methodical parallel useful both for physical and mathematical studying. Aim. To discover correspondence between algorithms and significations of ordinary differential equations (order reduction) and those of classic mechanics (Newton’s second law and energy conservation). After consideration in general terms the parallel between topics from physics and math courses, we show the solution of a math problem, which could illustrate the detected parallel in math classes. Novelty. The authors have built the methodical parallel between some topics from physics and math courses. This allows demonstrating linking of disciplines rarely shown practically in classes. Methodology and methods. Analysis of modern scientific methodological publications about linking physics and math courses in higher education (physical and technical study directions); creation of methodical parallel between two linked topics of physics and mathematics courses; analysis of educational examples applying our methodical idea. Results. The analysis of scientific methodological publications shows the problems in physics education noted by professors: it is difficult for students to connect in their mind math methods and their application in physics; math courses are sometimes too formal and far from physics. The paper discusses the methodological approach to solving the problems; gives the example of physics and math reasoning to show how the methodology works.

JUSTIFICATION OF TRAINING SPECIALISTS IN THE PROGRAM «ECONOMIC SAFETY OF ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS IN TRANSPORT» IN MODERN CONDITIONS
Engineering emerged as a form of entrepreneurial initiative based on economic aspects. All engineering projects should have a competitive advantage by combining price and efficiency. In the context of global economic constraints, the Russian transport sector faces increased risk. Transportation models for different user groups are changing, routes and methods of transportation are being adapted, and booking systems are being improved. These changes entail risks and challenges that affect the stability and productivity of the Transportation industry. The current economic environment has a significant impact on the transport industry. Recently, some passenger transportation routes and destinations have been completely decommissioned. At the same time, there is a change in the structure of transit cargo transportation, which entails the need to adapt and rethink logistics networks. The deepening of economic ties with the states of the East against the background of the aggravation of relations on the western borders requires the adaptation of logistics infrastructure, including the redistribution of vehicles, as well as an increase in the use of traction resources and repair facilities. These factors highlight the impact of the external environment on the transport industry. In addition to the economic environment, decisions can play a significant role, for example, rail transport is facing internal problems due to its historical development and the reforms carried out in recent years, which also contributes to the overall complexity of managing this sector. The transformation of the transport industry led to an increase in the number of participants involved in the process, and revealed key requirements for ensuring economic security in transport. At the same time, economic security in transport involves an integrated approach to threat analysis and the development of management strategies and protective measures.

RATIONALIZATION IN INCREASING LABOR PRODUCTIVITYAND THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE ENGINEERS
Rationalization is the foundation for increasing labor productivity in the country and a crucial aspect in the development of future engineers. Aim. To analyze the role of rationalization in engineering and education. Novelty. Increasing labor productivity requires the development of mass creativity, coupled with the targeted cultivation of «engineering special forces» and government and business support for small technology companies. The revival of youth creativity traditions requires its support in continuous education through the coordinated (conceptually and organizationally) work of mentors. Involving young people in work and developing the ability to «think with their hands» is reflected in the term «educational and technological sovereignty». Methodology and research methods. Systemic-dialectical, interdisciplinary, normative-historical, activity-based approaches, concepts of «educational education», «public education», «developmental education», developments in theories of inventive problem solving, effective solutions and creative personality development. Results. An understanding of the prospects for developing rationalization to increase labor productivity shows that the «fulcrums» in this regard are linked not only to the legal sphere and the awareness of business leaders of the inevitability of socio-technological change, but also to government support at all levels and business support for youth creativity in the system of continuous education. Developing a mentoring framework for this work requires particular attention.

ROLE OF ENGINEER PEDAGOGICAL TECHNOLOGY IN PREVENTIVE LABOR PROTECTION MEASURES: DEVELOPING SELF-REGULATION SKILLS
The article presents the data of a study of the relationship between the component of pedagogical technology (self-regulation) possessed by an engineer and the results of preventive measures on labor protection. The empirical basis of the study consists of the analysis of the main professional educational programs of universities that train specialists working at innovative enterprises (57 respondents) and the survey of engineers, in which 242 respondents took part. The study used the emotional intelligence test EmIn by D.V. Lyusin and the methods of diagnosing motivation to achieve success and avoid failure by T. Ehlers. In addition, the authors have carried out an expert assessment of professional success and collected the data on the length of service of respondents. The methods of mathematical data processing: methods of descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, were used. The results showed that engineers implementing preventive measures on labor protection often learn pedagogical technologies, copying the experience of school teachers. Emotional intelligence has a positive effect on achievement of motivation and promotes the constructive use of negative emotions. The obtained results can serve as a basis program of pedagogical skills and emotional intelligence in engineers.

WAYS TO IMPROVE THE ENGINEERING EDUCATION SYSTEM
The article considers the ways to improve engineering education, outlined by Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 6, 2025 at a meeting of the Council on Science and Education. The main attention is paid to the structure of personnel training in the higher education system, which is presented by the Ministry of Science and Education as a new model of higher education. It is noted that the reform of higher technical education after joining the Bologna process was not necessary in our country. There was no experience of mass training of bachelors and assessing their readiness for production activities in our country. Apparently, it was a mistake to introduce a bachelor’s degree not in specialties, but in areas (directions). Graduates of bachelor’s degree programs in technical fields need to deepen their practical training. But domestic employers, unlike foreign entrepreneurs, are not ready for this. It is proposed to divide basic higher education into two levels: bachelor’s degree (4 years of study) and specialist degreе. Using the activity based learning model in the educational process, and the lecture-seminar system should be abandoned. The use of an activity-based approach in student education is based on the introduction of educational technologies in which the student is an active participant rather than a passive listener.
