students’ dropouts.State of the Art of the Problem of Adapting of Engineering FreshmenPersonal Challenges in transition of a person to the level of higher education are usually causedby the lack of adequate motivation. For example, D. Chubin [5, 10] notes that in the United Statesstudents show weak interest to math and science. The similar problems are observed in othercountries [6 - 9].Academic Challenges are associated with insufficient grounding of entrants in STEM complex(Science- Technology-Engineering-Mathematics), and of their difficult adapting to new forms ofteaching in a university. As a result, the high level of expulsion of 1-st year students (freshmen)is observed. Authors [5-8] note that the increase of dropout rate of students is
