Project of an Educational Program for Synchronised Training in the Specialty «Roads and Aerodromes»

Within the task to open a separate enlarged group of specialties and degrees in the field of transport education, the authors, based on many years of pedagogical and industrial experience, developed an exclusive project of a synchronised training program in the specialty «Roads and Aerodromes» to be included into the abovementioned enlarged group.

The article presents, also for the purpose of discussion by the professional community, a modular scheme of the synchronised main professional educational program «Roads and Aerodromes» and examines the specifics of structuring each module and filling it with disciplines.

Particular attention is paid to the well-known problem of the relationship between the number of humanitarian and technical disciplines in the educational process. Upon showing main reasons for inclusion of an increased number of humanitarian disciplines into engineering-focused general professional educational programs, proposals have been made on mechanisms for eliminating existing imbalances.

The article highlights main problems in the system of training in engineering specialties in terms of programs’ funding, of covering the programs of the developed enlarged group of specialties «Road Sector» with requirements of professional standards, of providing the educational process and research work of departments responsible for graduation with research / laboratory equipment and road machines.

Suggesting one of the possible ways of introducing the «Roads and Aerodromes» program into the practice of professional training of the system of higher educational institutions of the Russian Federation, the authors substantiate the opinion that the most promising solution would be creation of Interdepartmental Scientific and Educational Centres of regional significance (ISECR), assigned to specific road and climatic zones.
