The article deals with the study of foreign experience in training engineering
educators for modeling technological processes. It has been stated that engineering
education is a field that is being dramatically developed taking into account the occurring
changes in educational paradigms, global higher education space, national higher education
systems, economics, society, etc. It has been indicated that the abundance of the latest
information and communication technologies alter the approaches to training various specialists,
and, in particular, engineering educators. It has been mentioned that engineering teacher
education is undergoing significant development. The activities of the International Society
for Engineering Education – IGIP have been justified. It has been found out that there is
the vital need for those specialists able to combine the techniques of traditional teaching
and innovative scientific achievements, design technical structures, be leader and
facilitator of the education process. It has been defined that the activity of the society is
aimed at providing engineering educators with relevant training that involves their
obtaining the qualification that is accorded with European education standards. US
experience in training engineering educators for professional activity has been analyzed. It
has been specified that engineering education has become more integrated into the
curricula of elementary, middle and high school because of the increasing focus on STEM
subjects; the demand for engineering educators is dramatically growing at all the levels of
the education system. The peculiarities of engineering educators’ training have been
demonstrated on the example of the Purdue Polytechnic Institute. It has been concluded
that Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology Teacher Education is a rather
interdisciplinary degree program and trains future engineering educators for a wide range
of fields. The organization of the program is considerate and well-planned. It has been
stated that in Great Britain future engineering educators should be able to apply innovative
and less conventional teaching methodology, namely, via problem-based learning, virtual
learning environment, etc. According to the mentioned above, the author has outlined the
recommendations to improve engineering teacher education in Ukraine.
