Abstract
The article discusses the problem of the integrative nature of scientific, technical and institutional components interaction in engineering education. The authors consider the contradiction between the impersonal technologies of mass education, individual abilities and professionalism. In the process of graduates’ preparation in the formation of the new technological system, techno-science, the role of social-humanitarian disciplines increases. Socio-humanitarian profile contributes to formation of critical and reflective thinking that is necessary for the convergence of knowledge that is in demand today. The authors distinguish between monodisciplinary and transdisciplinary organization of science and emphasize the problem of ethics in research, including, in particular, the limits of the permissible in a scientific experiment. The article shows the problem areas of ethical control in the field of NBIC-technologies and determines the need for theoretical and methodological reflection between new technologies and fundamental human values, and generating new versions of anthropogenesis. The semantic nodes between tradition and innovation, professional duty and responsibility, short-term and long-term goals, professional community and society as a whole is proposed as the basis for building the future of education. The key to this research is the model of engineering education for future seeks to consider the context of technoscience, ethics and responsibility.
