The relevance and feasibility of this study are determined by the absence of serious, scientific research, as well as teaching materials, when it comes to the use of Augmented Reality (AR) in teaching students and future teachers Descriptive Geometry, Engineering and Computer Graphics (DGECG). The purpose of the study is to examine the current state of knowledge and practice of existing courses, which use the AR concept; to conduct a pedagogical experiment by teaching students how to create an information model of a building structure using the AR concept; to study the impact of the AR technology on students, lecturers, on the quality of students' design works and project presentation. The research methods used were a set of various, complementing each other methods, which can be divided into two groups: (1) theoretical: analysis of the teachers' and psychologists' works on the point of the research, analysis of methodological and educational literature; and (2) empirical: observation, statement, pedagogical experiment. The authors synthesized qualitative and quantitative AR research in the field of education. A team of students from Saint-Petersburg Mining University, Kazan (Volga region) Federal University and Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation solved a design problem using AR and created an informational 3D-model of the structure. Existing methods of teaching students were supplemented and updated by the method of graphical presentation of the results, with due regard for AR-technologies. It has been found that at the present moment, the concept of AR has gained popularity not only among designers and planners, but also among schoolteachers, as well as among teachers at engineering universities. The absence of scientifically substantiated and proven programs and training materials for training students of DGECG using AR has also been confirmed. The necessity of further scientific research in the field of AR for DGECG has been substantiated. The article materials could prove to be useful for lecturers, schoolteachers and parents.

The article considers the peculiarities of training foreign students subject "Descriptive geometry and Engineering Graphics" in a modern engineering university of Russia. The relevance of the problem conditioned by the fact that virtually there are no special studies of teaching Descriptive Geometry and Engineering Graphics in Russian language as a foreign language. The aim of the article is a definition of the tasks of teaching descriptive geometry and engineering graphics for foreign students in Russian language as a foreign language, create methods and didactic principles used for training. The leading study method of this problem is the simulation method as a deliberate and organized improving process for general cultural level and formation of special competence of teachers of engineering universities of Russia, and for effectively carry out their professional activities. The study aimed to adapt of lecturers to the new conditions professional work in the field of education, the integration of professional psychological and pedagogical training of lecturers. It focused on the development of scientific and methodological support of the decision of psycho-pedagogical and organizational-methodological problems of teaching Descriptive Geometry and Engineering Graphics in Russian as a foreign language.

The relevance of the investigated problem is caused by the need for monitoring the impact of the Unified State Examination (USE) on the level of mathematical culture and the level of geometric literacy of applicants and students of modern engineering universities of Russia. The need to determine the position of Descriptive Geometry in the structure of modern higher engineering education. The aim of the article is to study the USE impact on the overall level of training, including the level of geometric literacy of applicants and students of technical universities in Russia. The identification of the specific features of the modern structure of higher engineering education in Russia. The determination of the position of Descriptive Geometry in this structure. The leading approach to the study, which is in the solution of this problem, is to monitor the current USE system, and to monitor the structure of modern higher engineering education in Russia. This is an integrated approach, which allows to address this issue as a process of purposeful national formation of the best overall level of mathematical culture to students of technical universities in Russia. The article presents the results of monitoring of the USE impact on the overall level of training, including the level of geometric literacy of applicants of technical universities in Russia. The results of monitoring of the specifics of the existing structure of modern higher engineering education in Russia. The place of Descriptive Geometry in it. The structure of training of students of Descriptive Geometry at the St. Petersburg Mining University. Article Submissions are of practical value to teachers of technical universities, their adaptation to modern conditions of professional work in higher engineering education.

The research urgency is caused by necessity to develop the informational support for management of development of higher education in conditions of high turbulence of external and internal environment. The purpose of the paper is the development of methodology for structuring and analyzing datasets of educational activities in order to reduce informational uncertainty of the higher education system and to improve its controllability. The paper presents the author's interpretation of the informational approach to the management of the development of higher education system, based on the theory of the information field and ensuring the reduction of entropy of management. The implementation of the informational approach allows investigating, modeling, and predicting the state of higher education system to enhance development effectiveness, taking into account the dynamics, the lack of equilibrium conditions and interaction of elements of the system. This paper is intended for researchers and specialists in the field of management of education's development.
