Environmental Geo-information Technologies as a Tool of Pre-service Mining Engineer’s Training for Sustainable Development of Mining Industry

The article highlights peculiarities of geoinformation technologies’ application in course of pre-service engineers’ training for sustainable development, their functionalities, geoinformation system’s role and position in environmental protection acts. Concepts of geoinformation technologies, geoinformation system have been disclosed. The pedagogical experiment was done concerning introduction of the developed method of using geoinformation technologies as means of forming environmental competence profile mining engineers predicted an experemental studying on course «Environmental Geoinformatics». The results of the expert assessment of rational using geoinformation technologies there were given to create an ecological competence of future mining engineering profile.
