The digitalization of all spheres of human activity has led to a significant increase in the requirements for the training of modern engineers. This has been necessitated the digitalization of the process of training future specialists. According to scientists, the most effective and safe technologies are virtual and augmented reality. The authors of the article analyse the advantages and disadvantages of using these technologies and describe examples of successful implementation of immersive technologies in the educational process. The paper also emphasizes the need to train teachers to use immersive technologies in the educational process. The purpose of the paper: analysis the peculiarities of using immersive technologies in the training of future engineers. Objectives of the study: analyse the experience of using immersive technologies in the training of future engineers; present elements of the methodology of using immersive technologies in the training of future engineers, select immersive technologies, such as augmented and virtual reality, support the training of future engineers in higher education institutions. Object of research: use of immersive technologies in higher education institutions. Subject of the study: use of immersive technologies in the training of future engineers. Results of the study: the paper presents a methodology for using virtual and augmented reality technologies in the training of future engineers. The methodology was successfully implemented in the laboratories of Kryvyi Rih National University and proved to be effective in distance learning in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and russian military aggression against Ukraine. Conclusions: use of immersive technologies in the training of future engineers can significantly improve the quality of training and help them better understand complex concepts and processes. Nevertheless, further research and development is needed to introduce modern digital technologies in the training of engineers at universities to form a competitive and competent specialist.
