Allfundamental engineering skills, including mechanization, automation, creating new andmodernization of existing technologies, and other kinds of activity, should, first of all, aim atsociety and its members. Existing social and technical reality requires professionals with broadoutlook and systemic thinking, able to see interdisciplinary connections. Contemporarytechnologies create a specific environment. Nowadays every engineering decision intrudes intosocial reality, transforms it, creates and imposes new material needs, and sets up new qualitystandards

The last position is theknowledge of a foreign language and even several foreign languages. Unfortunately it is theweakest link for the majority of Russian students.

the learning process. Inductive learning allows thestudent to discover why the material is important and useful [2]. People are motivated to learnthings they perceive as something they need to know [3]. Student buy-in and motivation is alsoenhanced when hands-on active learning opportunities are provided [4]. This method ofteaching provides context and relevancy to the curriculum [5].This inductive learning process is adopted by AFIT and USAFA astronautical and space systemsengineering professors who provide their students with clear design objectives and allow thestudents the opportunity to solve many of the challenges of satellite design, build, and test.

more specifically those in modeling as important. In an effortto define these competences 50,51 it is shown that mathematical modeling skills include theabilities to perform the modeling process adequately and to focus it properly. It is also concernedwith the possibility of setting those skills into action. Based on the above approach, this studyintends to present the design of activities that were designed to facilitate the transition betweenthe various stages of mathematical modeling by having the students face situations that arerelated to the contexts that students commonly live in engineering.3) Methodology in the design and implementation of innovative material in the DE courseSince 2008, innovative material (hands-on activities
