Introduction. The article considers the problem of the development of engineering and pedagogical education and the training of physics teachers as engineering teachers, which is associated with improving the quality of mathematical, natural science and engineering education. In the light of forming a sovereign system of Russian engineering and pedagogical education, the state expresses concerns about training and shortage of physics teachers. The main activities are the development of advanced training courses for physics teachers, eliminating teacher shortages, and training future physics teachers. However, this issue has not been sufficiently considered in terms of the organization and design of teacher training in this area, which is not confirmed by a large number of publications. Goal. Substantiation of the importance of a modern system of physics teacher training in the field of engineering and pedagogical education as one of the areas of future research. Materials and methods. The concepts of “engineering literacy” and “career literacy” are analyzed and the author’s definition of “formation of engineering and career literacy in teaching physics” is given. For the formation of these types of literacy, it is important to prepare the teacher as an individual. In our study, teacher training is a set of motives of physics teachers to perform pedagogical work in the field of engineering and pedagogical education and teaching methods of the subject. A procedural model of physics teacher training in the field of engineering and pedagogical education is presented. Results and discussion. A set of didactic materials has been developed, and a Teacher-Engineer course has been developed using the resources of the innovation infrastructure. Examples of tasks for teacher training are given. Conclusion. As a result, it is possible to draw a general conclusion about the importance of training physics teachers in the field of engineering and pedagogical education, which is one of the directions of future research. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a methodology for the formation of engineering and career literacy in the process of studying physics.
