THE INTEGRATIVE ROLE OF MENTORING IN THE PROCESS OF INVOLVING STUDENTS IN RESEARCH ACTIVITIES ^{[№ 4 ' 2025]}
In the context of the transformation of the higher education system, focused on the formation of a competitive and independent specialist, the involvement of students in research activities is becoming a key task of higher education. However, this process is fraught with a number of systemic difficulties, such as fragmented knowledge, difficulties in self-formulation of scientific problems and their methodological support, as well as a crisis of professional identity at the initial stages of the scientific path. This article examines the integrative role of mentoring as an integral pedagogical phenomenon that can overcome these barriers and ensure a holistic and systematic student involvement in the research process. Based on the theoretical analysis, it is considered how mentoring performs integrative functions at various levels: epistemological, methodological, socio-psychological, and personal-semantic. At the epistemological level, the mentor acts as a guide, integrating disparate disciplinary knowledge into a single scientific picture of the world and helping the student identify relevant research problems. At the methodological level, the focus is shifting to the integration of theoretical knowledge with practical skills in designing and conducting research, and the formation of research competence. The socio-psychological aspect is revealed through the integration of the student into the scientific community, the assimilation of its norms, values and language. The personal-semantic level implies the integration of research activities into the system of personal values and professional orientations of the student, the formation of his identity as a future scientist or specialist. The work uses the concepts and theoretical constructions of leading Russian scientists in the field of pedagogy and psychology of higher education, such as A.A. Verbitsky, V.I. Zagvyazinsky, E.A. Shashenkova., M.I. Rozhkov, N.F. Talyzina and others. It is concluded that mentoring, being built as a dialogical, subject-to-subject process, is a central integrative mechanism that ensures the depth, sustainability and meaningfulness of students’ involvement in research activities, thereby contributing to solving strategic tasks of training scientific personnel in the Russian Federation.

FORMATION MODEL OF FUTURE ENGINEER RESEARCH CULTURE IN STUDENT DESIGN BUREAU ^{[№ 3 ' 2024]}
Training highly qualified engineering personnel is of crucial importance for the state. Over the past few years, the importance of such specialists has only increased. Key strategic documents at the federal level emphasize the need to increase the number of not so much engineers in the usual and even outdated sense, but rather engineers-innovators capable of engineering creativity, developing new technologies in order to achieve technological sovereignty, possessing the necessary qualities and competencies for this. Research culture seems to be one of such qualities, and its formation in the process of studying at a university should be of particular interest. I have developed a model for the formation of a research culture of a future engineer in a student design bureau, which consists of a target block representing the achievement of the planned result and determining the need to take into account the requirements for engineering personnel within the framework of a social order aimed at solving priority state tasks; a methodological block defining the relationship between the activity and contextual approaches and the corresponding principles of technology, scientific nature, cooperation, professional focus, innovation and continuity; a substantive block reflecting the components of the formation of the research culture of future engineers in the student design bureau, formed during the implementation of the pedagogical opportunities and resources of the student design bureau; a procedural block characterizing the problem-searching, immersive and group teaching technologies, tools, intra-university, external and virtual environments used at all stages of the formation of the research culture. I propose organizational and pedagogical conditions that ensure the effectiveness of the model: mutual enrichment of the content of research activities and academic disciplines; implementation of project­research technologies as a means of attracting future engineers to creative activities; modernization of the educational process within the framework of scientific and industrial social partnership.

ORGANIZATIONAL AND PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS FOR THE FORMATION OF THE READINESS OF FUTURE ENGINEERS FOR RESEARCH ACTIVITIES ^{[№ 4 ' 2022]}
In the modern conditions of the development of the education system in the country, fundamentally new requirements are being put forward for the goals, content and management of the education system.
The training of highly qualified specialists capable of effectively solving the tasks of developing not only professional activity, but also science is possible only with the close relationship of the educational process with research activities. Innovations of the fourth-generation FGOS include the individualization of educational trajectories, including at the request of enterprises in those regions where there is a shortage of engineering personnel, as well as updating the standard, taking into account the priorities of scientific and technological development of the country. In this regard, the issue of high-quality training of engineering personnel who would be capable of creating new technologies necessary for society becomes urgent. One of the effective ways of forming exercising their control is the research activities of students.
We conducted an experimental study to identify the effectiveness of the implementation of organizational and pedagogical conditions in the process of managing the research activities of future engineers at the Department of Biomedical Engineering of Orenburg State University. The following organizational and pedagogical conditions were tested: enriching the content of engineering disciplines with research contexts; using design technologies as a means of developing students’ research potential; implementation of student-teacher networking based on information and virtual support in the form of a web resource.
The results of the study showed that under the influence of the proposed organizational and pedagogical conditions, there is a positive trend in indicators that determine the readiness of future engineers for research activities. Successful testing of the proposed organizational and pedagogical conditions in the educational process shows a real opportunity to increase the effectiveness of scientific activity of university students in order to improve higher professional education.

INFLUENCE OF CONDITIONS OF CITY EСOSУSTEM ON AEROPHYTE MICROSCOPIC FUNGI OF TREE BARK ^{[№ 2 ' 2010]}
Taxonomical composition of micromycetes, living on the bark of woody plants of the city of Ufa is first considered. Comparison of fungi biota of industrial district and recreational zone of city is conducted on specific composition, length and biomass of mycelium, to frequency of met. The types of micromycetes, steady to industrial contamination are exposed.
