It is necessary to pay attention to the harmonious coverage of three areas elements of digitalization development: information and communication infrastructure, information systems and environment (platforms), digital twins, when planning the content and technologies for training engineers. These issues should be given separate training modules, for example, by micro qualifications obtaining, or as part of project-based or practical training. The forms and means of implementing these digitalization areas may be different. The purpose of the article is to review new elements and means of engineering education digitalization and analyze of academic environment reflection on them.
The new elements in education emergence is often spontaneous and uncontrolled. There is a threat that these means will replace the systemic, face-to-face process of engineers training. A little space in the implemented digital technologies is occupied by frontal innovative solutions that capture both industry and engineering education. There is a negative attitude of the academic community towards various types of innovations: information, telecommunications, etc. Nevertheless, the emerging new information technologies cover all three areas of engineering education digitalization.
The digital technologies in education multidimensionality lies in their different target orientation and audience, different nature and source of their origin, different forms of their application, as well as different socio-psychological nature of these means. An important task of the engineering education system is the integration of diverse, multidimensional digital means and technologies on a single platform, for organizing their systematic and structured presentation and mastering. This platform can be implemented on the basis of a digital cluster or a digital enterprise formats.
