A research object is graphic preparation of future engineers in the conditions of competence paradigm of university education. A research aim is a theoretical ground and experimental verification of methodology of forming of project-designer competence of future engineers in the process of graphic preparation in higher educational establishments. Research methods: theoretical: study and analysis of pedagogical, psychological, stadu, research literature, that gave an opportunity to specify essence of project-designer competence of future engineer and distinguish the components of her structure; a synthesis, comparison, specification, systematization and generalization of theoretical and empiric data, assisted the ground of the stages of forming of project-designer competence of engineer-bachelor in the process of studies in institution of higher learning, determination of pedagogical principles and development of criteria indexes and levels of formed of project-designer competence for students; empiric: supervision, questionnaire, testing, conversations, analysis of the visited employments for the study of the modern state of formed of project-designer competence of students; a pedagogical experiment assisted complex determination of levels of formed of project-designer competence of future engineers in the process of graphic preparation, that did possible verification of efficiency of the worked out methodology; statistical - for establishment of statistical meaningfulness of research results and them qualitatively-quantitative interpretation. Theoretical results: first: the model of forming of project-designer competence of future engineers is scientifically reasonable in the process of graphic preparation,; totality of pedagogical terms is certain; criteria and indexes of formed of project-designer competence of students are outlined; levels; methodology of forming of project-designer competence of future engineers is reasonable in the process of graphic preparation; essence of concepts is specified: "professional competence", "professional graphic competence", "project-designer competence of future engineer"; the semantic providing of graphic disciplines is improved with application of informatively-communication technologies; further development was purchased by positions about realization of компетентнісного approach in forming of project-designer competence of future engineers; methods, forms and facilities of organization of educational process, are with application of informatively-communication technologies in the conditions of technical higher educational establishment. Practical results are development and introduction in the educational process of higher educational establishments of methodology of forming of project-designer competence of future engineers in the process of graphic preparation; her to successful approbation and experimental verification in the format of stadu complex: manual "Guidance for the independent untiing of tasks from a sketch geometry", the theoretical, practical and technical stages of untiing of base graphic tasks are given in that, materials for organization of independent work of students, facilities of diagnosticating (tests, control questions and others like that); stadu recommendations of "Basis of the use of facilities of the graphic program "Compass" are for a capture the general methods of implementation of drafts by means of modern computer-aided that envisages work in 2d and 3d space designs; methodical pointing to independent implementation of graphic tasks in a software environment "Compass" from a course the "Computer graphics".
