Practical training in innovative engineering activities in regional summer science schools

The paper reveals the content of practical training in innovative engineering activities in summer science schools for students as training in obtaining material innovative products. As the material innovative products, digitally manufactured products (printed with a 3D-printer) were used, and as intangible innovative products - the application documents for patents. The training was organized in the form of a business game 'Firm 2' including the following steps: forming a team, casting roles; setting up a firm, choosing activities for the firm and the brand name; formulating the problem to be solved; obtaining technical solutions; developing a 3D-model of a part; developing a product with a 3D-printer; registering applicant patent documents; defending the project. The experiment confirmed the increase in the effectiveness of such training by 16 %.
