Development of pedagogical model of training students in innovative activity at the national research universities practicing comprehensive teaching of this activity

The paper is concerned with the development of a pedagogical model for methodological system of preparing students of national research universities to innovative engineering (IE) embracing the idea of growing their competence in this activity. It is shown that it is the network of national research universities (NRU) due to its capacities that determine the development of the national innovation system. The main feature of the proposed model is the gradual formation of students' competence in innovative engineering. Its first stage - theoretical training in how to get an intangible product innovation within the study of a new integrated course "Fundamentals of innovative engineering" (FIE), the second one - a hands-on training in how to get tangible innovative products within the traditional summer visiting schools of students and young scientists. The model traditionally includes target, conceptual, content, procedural and technological and reflexive and diagnostic components. Target component includes the goal - to further students' competence in IE and learning objectives to achieve it. Conceptual component - defines the general concept of study, namely the achievement of stated goals based on the integration of theoretical and practical learning the basics of IE. Content component is based on the knowledge learned by the students in the study of all previous disciplines, disciplines and a number of disciplines of practical training IE. Procedural and technological component includes the methods, forms and means of instruction, including the newest innovation (technology of digital production). Reflexive and diagnostic component involves diagnosis and self-test of the level of acquisition of competencies of IE. Throughout the training there is an accumulative scoring system, and the model itself is implemented as a business game "Company 2". Such integration of means with methods ensures a synergetic effect of the system on the whole.
