Abstract. The article analyzes the use of innovative methods and technologies in the process of preparation of the future engineer-teacher and determines and substantiates the influence of the use of innovative methods and technologies on the development of pedagogical skills of future engineers-pedagogues - participants of innovative processes, improvement of qualitative indicators of teaching methods and use technologies for future professionals. The relevance of the use of methods and technologies in the teaching of economic disciplines in the process of professional training of future engineer-teacher, which are to teach the future specialist to independently acquire knowledge and apply them to solve new cognitive and practical problems; promote the development of communication skills; expand the circle of communication; to foster the ability to use research techniques: to collect and analyze information, to make hypotheses, to draw conclusions. The methods of interactive learning and their organizational and methodical forms are considered, which are the most optimal for the use of certain types of training in the preparation of specialists. The role of innovative methods and technologies in shaping future professionals' professional readiness, thinking and behavior has been clarified. The complex of professionally significant qualities of future engineers-educators necessary for successful professional activity is characterized and special attention is given to modern information technologies, their opportunities for improvement of professional skills. The conclusions are drawn and the prospects for further research within the given direction are indicated.
