Management approaches to organizing a project-based learning model in technical university

A theoretical analysis of sources, which allowed to identify the main objects of research by Russian scientists in the sphere of project activities among university students, has been carried out. Using the methods of logical analysis and system approach, management technologies for implementing the project-based educational model in Russian technical universities have been studied. Common characteristics of project activities in various universities are the presence of a discipline aimed at developing project competencies and industrial partners participation. The mechanisms for integrating project-based learning into the current educational activities of higher education institutions have been analyzed. It has been concluded that it is necessary to consider the object of the research in several planes. The purpose of the study is to create a comprehensive model for developing project activities in technical university, including structural changes in the administrative apparatus, project approaches used by university departments, and tools for attracting industrial partners to educational activities. The object of the study is the Samara State Technical University, which has been developing the practice-oriented learning model in various forms since 2016. The presented material can be useful both for subsequent theoretical research within the framework of subsequent scientific publications and for practical implementation by university administrative staff, as well as by teaching staff.
