The article presents a critical analysis of the content of the «Engineering Graphics» course in technical universities and substantiates the need for its fundamental transformation amid the rapid development of digital technologies. It is shown that the traditional approach, drawing on the early and in-depth study of descriptive geometry involving manual drafting, enters into irreconcilable conflict with the demands of modern industry and the cognitive characteristics of the new generation of students. This contradiction results in reduced motivation, knowledge formalization, and its subsequent loss due to the absence of any connection with real engineering practice. The article proposes discipline reorientation toward the practical mastery of three-dimensional and information modeling within modern computer-aided design systems. It is argued that the theoretical foundations of descriptive geometry, including its more complex sections, should be studied not in isolation but on a modular basis, within the context of solving specific practical tasks in digital environment. Particular attention is paid to the evolution of educational materials, with the demonstrated priority of video lectures and MOODLE-based courses enabling instructors to update content promptly and better address the needs of contemporary students. The authors examine the strategic revival of the school subject «Drawing» at a modern level through the integration of digital design and 3D printing. This approach will ensure continuity between secondary and higher education, substantially reduce the burden on universities in delivering basic skills training, and cultivate a genuine interest in engineering creativity among schoolchildren.  The article presents specific practical results from the updating of the discipline and concludes that the proposed transformation not only eliminates the lag of teaching methodology behind technological reality but also lays a solid foundation for the integration of artificial intelligence technologies into the educational process and the future professional activities of engineers.
