Entering a university, yesterday's student chooses his future profession most often on the advice of his parents, or for company with friends. He remotely represents the scope of his future professional activities. Understanding comes to the third or fourth year, when specialized special disciplines are studied and industrial practice is carried out at enterprises and companies. A student comes for a profession and dreams of immediately plunging into the real tasks of production. But first, he will have to study general education disciplines, such as mathematics, physics, descriptive geometry, engineering and computer graphics, etc. To ensure motivation and interest in studying junior students of general education disciplines, it is necessary to give examples as often as possible where the knowledge gained can be used. In this regard, in these disciplines it is necessary to introduce tasks of a profile orientation. This, firstly, will provide a continuous connection with the profile disciplines of senior courses, and, secondly, will allow students at the initial stage of their studies to understand and not doubt the correctly made choice of their future professional activities. This article proposes a solution to the problem of increasing the motivation of students of 1–2 courses to study the discipline "Engineering and computer graphics" in the context of the introduction of information technologies, new forms and methods of education. The purpose of the work is to create a highly effective learning environment that allows providing some interaction with real practical tasks for students of the direction of training "Automation of technological processes and production". Here is an example of the use of a specially developed task, the content of which is closely related to the future engineering activities of graduates of this area of training. The results of the experiment related to the introduction of a special task confirm the increase in students' interest in the discipline "Engineering and computer graphics," and ensure the creation of a unified environment for end-to-end education at the university, realizing the relationship between general education and specialized disciplines.
