Abstract
The article investigates and theoretically substantiates the concept of an integrative approach to teaching metrological disciplines for students of electrical engineering specialties. The relevance of the research is driven by the rapid digital transformation of the energy sector (Smart Grid, IoT solutions), which imposes new requirements on engineering competencies. The paper provides a thorough analysis of employer expectations, identifying a critical need for specialists capable of integrating metrological knowledge into remote monitoring processes and automated diagnostics of high-voltage equipment. The author proposes a methodological model that involves the convergence of the content of educational components “Control and Measuring Instruments with the Basics of Metrology” and “Metrology and Electrical Measurements” into a single, cohesive system. This model is based on systemic and process management approaches, allowing for the structuring of educational material from fundamental laws of metrology to their practical application in power engineering. Special attention is paid to the practical tools for implementing integrative learning. The experience of implementing STEM technologies and virtual laboratories, which provide simulation of complex industrial processes without risks to expensive equipment, is revealed. The application of the case method is described in detail using examples of solving real-world energy problems: from analyzing the metrological characteristics of smart meters to minimizing losses in commercial electricity metering systems. The conclusions emphasize that the proposed model not only optimizes learning time but also fosters comprehensive professional thinking in students, essential for solving complex tasks in the modern energy industry.
