Introduction. Modern mechanisms for the work of the pedagogical system of an engineering university are focused on the organization of a learning environment of a convergent type, involving the interconnection of humanitarian, natural-scientific and technical knowledge. This approach is seen as the methodological basis of the concept of integrity, the most important component of which is the principle of awareness of the scientific picture of the world. Methodology. The general scientific base of the study was the ideas of the modern philosophy of education, positioning the category of convergence as the fundamental axiom of worldview; a systemic approach as a generally accepted methodological framework for the study of the phenomenon of integrity; the concept of the scientific picture of the world as the basic basis for the substantive side of the scientific worldview. Discussion. The procedure of implementation of conceptual aspect and technological aspect of disciplinary convergence as mechanism of systemic synthesis of all forms of scientific and substantive knowledge of engineering is presented. Conceptuality is associated with the construction of an cross-disciplinary model of engineering training, the didactic product of which is cross-disciplinary cycle complexes. The development of the procedure for including such complexes in the educational space of the university forms the technological aspect of disciplinary convergence. The solution of this problem is organized on the basis of the concept of a scientific picture of the world, which made it possible to form an algorithm for integrative educational technology. A general formative link of cross-disciplinary synthesis has been identified - discipline-concentrate. The technology of content design and methodical support of discipline-concentrate is described. The procedure for designing content and organizing training on the basis of cross-disciplinary cycle complexes for the cognatic structure of an engineering university, formed on the principle of unity of the object of study40 - mechanical systems, is presented. Conclusion. The proposed approach to designing educational content and organizing training allows the most effective implementation of the idea of the integrity of professional knowledge, understood as the formation of basic elements of a scientific worldview. The obtained results made it possible to formulate universal rules for modernization of educational programs of an engineering university, which implement the principles of cross-disciplinary synthesis of all forms of subject knowledge.
