In this context, the integration ofreproductive and interactive training such as role-games, business-games, brainstorms,discussions, creative tasks, and projects are of great practical value for the high schoolstudents.The module education approach was reflected in the design of the interdisciplinary courseapplied by teachers in the Kazan high school, Republic of Tatarstan. The modules arerealized in separate disciplines as well as being included in training courses and extracurriculum work. The main advantage of this approach is the use of creative student groupactivities.

The project begins in a third-yearinstrumentation course when student teams develop a prototype instrument design. During asubsequent computer data acquisition and control course, the students use their prototype withthe addition of an embedded processor (microcontroller) to create a “smart” instrument. Thestudents are given loose specifications for the design of their fluid level probe. The specificationshave enough freedom to allow for creative variation in designs but key factors are tightly definedsuch that the performance of all of the designs can
