Summary/Abstract: The accelerated development and mass-dissemination of new technologies have also changed the didactics’ patterns of higher education. This concerns especially engineers’ higher education with underlying significance of philosophy and humanities in the study programmes. Concerning methods the article presents on the base of ongoing projects the implementation of new didactic forms including ICT (e-learning) and its enlargement by the didactic in foreign language by using the CLIL method. As far the programmes and contents the article focuses on nanotechnology with the conception of technology assessment, technoscience and converging technologies which are at the same time the objective of didactics as well as research works on the point of junction between humanities and engineering sciences.
