Ontological analysis of the advanced engineering school project

The project of organizing an advanced engineering school is described based on the analysis of the main entities that make up the structure of this project. It is emphasized that the position of an advanced school is ensured by the choice of a frontier task, and the engineering orientation is associated with production activities in the framework of the creation of innovative products. To achieve this goal, the school forms a symbiosis between an educational institution and a high-tech industrial enterprise. Finally, the main essence of the school involves the training of qualified personnel, and, consequently, educational activities. The innovative nature of the school is also linked to the selection of qualified personnel from the educational institution and experienced production workers from the industrial partner to provide mentoring. A feature of this technology is a reduction in the volume of training, with an increase in time for consideration of problem resolution procedures; the time of experimentation, analysis, comparison increases; the usual tasks for independent work are replaced by instructions to sort out the issues, while the time for the solution and the place are not specified in any way; classroom lessons are replaced by individual consultations; instead of general programs, individual and group plans are developed; traditional training is carried out by the very forms of organizing cooperation; the educational and developmental work of the teacher is replaced by his participation in solving common problems; internal regulations are adopted by the students themselves; discipline is ensured by the requirements of one's own and collective security and joint development; there are no groups in a general sense, but a community of like-minded people.
