Developing teamwork skills for students trained in compressors and refrigeration programs

While implementing the bachelor’s program in the fields of compressors and refrigeration, modern educational standards provide for the teamwork competence developing. The purpose of this study is to propose a system of developing this competence for students of the Petrochemical Institute, Omsk State Technical University. The main idea of the research is the application of an integrated interdisciplinary approach to all the competences of the graduate, involving various forms and methods of implementing the system of training highly skilled engineers. The team-building competence is formed both during instruction time and extracurricular time: in research, internships, sport and other activities. In addition, the work experimentally revealed that the competence under consideration is consistent with both the requirements of employers and the need for students self-realization while studying at a university. The article presents particular examples of this competence development in the course of basic professional subjects, as well as of Foreign language and Physical education. In particular, the Foreign language course was extended for the students of the mentioned training programs in comparison with other students. As for physical education, team skills are formed in the classroom and through the students participation in various sport competitions. Besides, the article describes the results of students participation in the program “Young professionals of Russia”, WSR. In addition, the interdisciplinary Petrochemical Institute project of the summer school for the first-year undergraduates, fully implementing the principles of complexity and consistency, is presented in the paper.
