| Annotation: | The article analyzes the experience of con- ducting laboratory, practical and lecture classes within the framework of an engineering school organized for students in grades 911 at Ural State University of Economics. The purpose of organizing an engineering school is to attract talented young people to further admission to the univer- sity in technological areas of training and to stimulate the interest of school students in research activities in the field of natural sciences. The activities of the engineering school are carried out during 20192025 and throughout this period, a clear trend towards an increase in the number of participants is recorded, which indicates an increase in interest in such an event. The use of innovative approach- es to teaching and a variety of experimental opportuni- ties ensure the interest of school participants in research work that has real practical significance, for example, to assess the quality of food products and develop new recipes. The article shows the dynamics of class attendance, and also analyzes various types and topics of the latter from the point of view of increasing students’ motivation for experimental work. It is noted that the interest of students varies significantly depending on the specific topics studied, but in general is determined by such factors as complexity of understanding, labor intensity of implementation, clari- ty, and practical significance. Of all the topics of the class- es, the most preferred by students are materials related to a healthy lifestyle and rational nutrition. The greatest com- plexity is caused by classes that require statistical process- ing of the results of the conducted research. The experience of conducting classes in an engineering school can be used in other higher education institutions to attract applicants interested in research activities. | ||
