The study involved students of 1-3 grade of five full-time technical faculties and teachers of the Polytechnic Institute. Based on the results a system of measures for pedagogical assistance to students-bachelors of technical directions was developed, which is aimed at increasing the success of educational activities. The target component of this system assumes a focus on the formation of sustainable motives for educational and professional activities, self-organization and professional self-development. The content component implies the selection of the content of education in close connection with the partner enterprises and the level differentiation of the content of education, dynamic unity of traditional training and preparation of the advanced level.
