Industrial Automatic Control Systems and Controllers Annotation << Back Automated Design of Professional Competence of Engineering and Technical Personnel Development Processes M.N. Vrazhnova, E.I. Makarenko, A.V. Akhterov, O.V. Lezina, A.V. Ostroukh This article is dedicated to functional modelling of the engineering and technical personnel development process. The work presents objective factors affecting the personnel development process in today’s Russia: economic situation in the country and the condition of the labor market, scientifi c and technical policies, political and legal situation, globalization and international division of labor, fi nancial standing of the population, and the status of the education system. One key factor in the development of engineering and technical personnel is the education system, and one of the main stages in the said process is master’s degree training. To understand and optimize these processes, we conducted a functional modelling of the engineering and technical staff development during Master’s degree training, using the Structured Analysis and Design Technique (SADT). As a result of SADT modelling, we identifi ed four key processes in the development of engineering and technical personnel: (1) cooperation with sectorial research institutes; (2) integration with core companies in the industry; (3) building trans-departmental structures to implement trans-disciplinary projects; (4) implementing trans-disciplinary projects and writing Master’s theses. Keywords: functional modelling; SADT modeling; engineering and technical personnel; technical intelligentsia; higher education. Contacts: E-mail: ok@mail.ru, E-mail: ostroukh@mail.ru Pp. 29-37.
