Implementation of education for sustainable development principles in the training of future software engineers

The article examines the professional training of future software engineers in higher education institutions in the context of the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals set by the UN General Assembly, as well as the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) principles. A number of contradictions that arise in the course of this training are mentioned on the example of training of future object-oriented programming engineers. The UNESCO documents on education for sustainable development, scientific sources on the professional training of future software engineers, as well as the integration of sustainable development into relevant educational programs are analyzed. The methodology and results of experimental work carried out with the aim of overcoming existing contradictions, promoting sustainable development of information technology education and implementation of ESD principles in the process of professional training of future software engineers are presented. In particular, the organizational and methodological conditions, that were implemented into the educational process, and experimental data are presented. The effectiveness of the experimental work was proved by statistical verification of the reliability of the obtained data.
