The article discusses the development and implementation of an interactive training complex in the discipline «Design Thinking» in the bachelor's degree program «Automation Systems Engineering». The relevance of the research is due to the active digital transformation of higher education, increased requirements for practice-oriented learning and the need for future graduates in the field of «Electrical Engineering and Automation» to develop not only professional and technical knowledge, but also creative design, analytical and communicative competencies. In the context of automation and increasing complexity of engineering activities, the integration of interactive and digital technologies into the educational process is of particular importance. The paper uses methods of theoretical analysis of scientific publications, generalization of pedagogical experience, pedagogical observation, student and teacher questionnaires, as well as comparative analysis of learning outcomes. Based on the conducted research, a mixed learning model has been developed that provides for a pedagogically sound combination of online and offline forms of work with students. The practical implementation of the model was carried out using the eXe Learning platform and a specially developed set of interactive tasks focused on the step-by-step development of the methodology of design thinking. The results of the pilot implementation showed a steady increase in students' involvement in the educational process, an increase in the level of educational motivation, activation of independent cognitive activity and improvement in the quality of learning compared with the traditional teaching format. The data obtained confirm the pedagogical expediency of using interactive technologies in engineering education. Promising areas of further research related to the development of adaptive educational systems, the use of learning analytics and the expansion of the functionality of digital learning complexes have been identified.
