Modern society creates a social need for a generation capable of living and developing in the space of high-tech, information-rich technologies; it requires the development of the ability to navigate and act in the constantly changing world of production, business, and socio-political life. In such a society, the transition from fundamental knowledge to innovation and the provision of specialist training for a specific job is of great importance.
The introduction of a practice-oriented approach to the educational process is due to the need to find adequate educational technologies-a set of tools and methods of teaching and developing students, allowing them to successfully implement the effective development of the competencies stated in the standard.
Education cannot be practice-oriented without the acquisition of experience, the level is more accurately determined by the methods of the competence approach, as the ability to mobilize their knowledge and experience to solve specific tasks in the profile of future activities.
The activity of CCaTT (Center of Competence and Technology Transfer) in the field of CaBM (construction and building materials) is aimed at the acquisition of practical experience by the student acting as the student's readiness for certain actions and operations on the basis of existing knowledge, skills and abilities.
CCaTT is a platform for students to pass educational, technological, industrial and pre-graduate practice, perform laboratory workshops on modern production and technological equipment. With such an organization of the educational process, individual student training plans can be developed, the variable part of which includes the disciplines requested by employers for in-depth or interdisciplinary study of the issues necessary for a student to succeed. As a result, a production and creative chain should be formed to solve a specific problem: Teacher → professional → student-performer → specific result.
Firstly the implementation of practice-oriented training at the university is aimed at approaching the needs of life. Secondly it allows creating conditions for the purposeful formation of competitive specialists.
