Taking the premise that the main driving force of the economy of post-industrial society is the scientific developments of specialists with engineering education, that the basis of building a post-industrial society, its foundation, its foundation is a competent, highly educated, responsible person — a professional in his field of activity, it follows that it is necessary to educate competent creators - individuals capable of transforming society into a post-industrial one. high-performance industry, with a high share of high-tech and innovative services in GDP, with a knowledge industry. The education and training of young people in engineering sciences, and not only in engineering should become the main priority of the state’s domestic policy.

Taking into account the increase in the amount of necessary knowledge from the course of the theory of elasticity — the foundation of engineering and architecture — it is proposed to organize the study of the course of the theory of elasticity in two stages: one semester theoretical and one semester practical. A student who has attended a course on the theory of elasticity in two stages and has received an exhaustive amount of knowledge will undoubtedly become a competent, knowledgeable specialist in the field of the theory of calculation and design of civil and industrial buildings and engineering structures.

In conclusion, it is proposed to clarify the names of such disciplines as ‘Fundamentals of Technical Mechanics’, ‘Strength of Materials’, ‘Theory of Elasticity’.

Keywords: higher engineering professional education, theory of elasticity, work programs, quality of education
