In today’s conditions of actively developing technologies and global challenges, engineering education is undergoing significant changes. The need for comprehensive training of future engineers with not only theoretical knowledge but also a wide range of interdisciplinary competences comes to the fore. The aim of this contribution is to analyze the innovative pedagogical technologies applied in teaching engineering disciplines, as well as to identify the main trends due to the experience of leading foreign universities. The analysis of statistical data and conclusions of experts in the field reflecting the impact of project-oriented learning, digital tools and interdisciplinary modules on the formation of competitive specialists are presented. The results of the research are four main conclusions: the widespread use of project-based learning and flipped classrooms, the positive impact of interactive technologies on independent learning and critical thinking, the growing integration of business and management modules to develop soft skills, and the obvious benefits of closer links between universities and industry through internships and cooperative programs. The materials of the work can be used to develop recommendations for improving engineering university curricula and enhancing the quality of graduate training.
