Abstract: The article explains the importance of teaching the students Sciences, which is the basis for acquisition of engineering sciences skills. This component consists of Mathematics, Information Technologies, Physics and Chemistry. The article underlines the importance of inter-subject relations between Physics and Mathematics for training future engineers, which is especially urgent when the academic hours for the subjects are reduced. The authors prove that functional-graphic literacy plays an important role in studying professional subjects. Didactic and methodological problems of teaching Mathematics and Sciences are emphasized; the concept of “functional-graphic literacy” is defined; functional-graphic skills necessary for the high quality education of engineers are singled out. In conclusion the authors underline that one of the main conditions of successful mastering, quick implementation and efficient use of the new technology is the ability of the specialists to draw and read charts, schemes, graphics and other technical documents. This proves the great role of functional-graphic literacy in professional training of future engineers, while formation of functional-graphic literacy in the course of teaching Mathematics is a necessary component in learning Physics and later in professional activity.
