The analysis of the learning process at universities is carried out on the example of several methods. The issues of integration of new project-based and practice-oriented methods of education into conventional education are considered. The scheme of the educational process with the use of effective methods of project-based learning of students in high school and university is shown. Examples of design solutions for undergraduate programs are given. The analysis of the effectiveness of the proposed project-based learning methodology is given in terms of students acquiring new competencies and real experience working in a team. The model of the student's competence profile from the point of view of project-based learning is described. The concept of designing a student's digital footprint based on blockchain is proposed.
