Issues of invention in the construction sector in conditions of its digitalization

The article considers the possibility of creating a digital environment of engineering creativity for organizing training for students of construction universities based on cloud technologies, which is an urgent task in the context of the implementation of the State program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation". The purpose of the study is to develop theoretical grounds for creating a cloud digital environment of engineering creativity (DEEC) for interaction between participants in the creative process in construction universities. The practical value of the study lies in the possibility of applying the proposed solution when implementing distance learning for students of civil engineering universities.
