DISPLAY OF PECULIARITIES OF ENGINEERING ACTIVITY IN PEDAGOGICAL RESEARCHES

The most widespread features of psychological and pedagogical character are considered. They are illustrative of the majority of types of engineering activity. The necessity of their appropriate account in the process of planning and carrying out pedagogical research is justified. It is shown that without this, the received results cannot be considered as rather reliable. Therefore, the researcher must understand both these features and their manifestations. It is extremely important, as engineering activity is accompanied by both positive and negative consequences. One of these features is the technocratic type of thinking typical for most engineers. The task of of pedagogics of engineering education is his overcoming and ensuring its humanistic orientation. One more of features consists in importance and necessity of development of future engineers' innovative thinking and leader potential.
