Interdisciplinary is a fundamental category of functioning of all systems of modern science, it is achieved through convergence and becomes a new form of educational environment. The article presents the conceptual foundations of complex modeling of a holistic system of training of a specialist of an engineering university, updating interdisciplinary requirements to educational results. The methodology of the system approach, which allowed to develop a universal algorithm of disciplinary synthesis of all training cycles, was chosen as the national scientific basis of the study. As a result of solving the problem of functional adaptation of the educational model, an information model of interdisciplinary connections is formed on the basis of integrative parameters. As a didactic product of interdisciplinary integration are interdisciplinary cycle complexes, the algorithm of functioning of which is controlled by the methodology of construction and development of the general phylosophical category "scientific picture of the world." It has been shown that the inclusion of methodological bases of this category in the process of organizing the integrity of the engineer 's training provides forms of synthesis of scientific knowledge at all levels of the educational environment - internal, interdisciplinary and transdectoral. In this way the idea of convergence of the content of education as a means of increasing the level of integration is realized, which directly correlates with the fundamental goal of engineering training - formation of a holistic worldview and scientific outlook of the future specialist. An example of methodological organization of the educational process of the engineering university within the framework of the interdisciplinary approach is given.
