Transformation of approaches in teaching information technologies to engineering students

Abstract
The main difference of the Industry 4.0 era is the global digitalization and the ever-increasing complexity of production systems. The successful digital transformation of the entire economy and individual enterprises requires the training of a new generation of engineers. The well-known models of information technology based training, which are widely used today, are distance learning and blended learning. And if these approaches have already been methodically worked out, IT training in engineering specialties raises a lot of questions. The article provides a selective review of the literature on IT training for engineers. In particular, attention is focused on various existing approaches in the field of teaching programming, but it is emphasized that much remains to be implemented. It is obvious that modern digital technologies can radically change the methods of teaching and learning in IT. This means, first of all, that the development of a new theory of education is required, taking into account the prospects for total digitalization of all processes in the economy. The aim of the article is to study the transformation of approaches in IT training of engineering students and the vector of scientific developments in this direction.
