This article analyzes effective methods for developing technical thinking in students based on digital technologies in the higher education system from a scientific, theoretical and practical perspective. The role and importance of technical thinking in the process of training technical specialists in the context of digital transformation are highlighted, and the didactic possibilities of modern tools such as virtual laboratories, digital modeling, simulation programs, and artificial intelligence-based learning platforms are revealed. The research substantiates pedagogical methods aimed at developing technical thinking based on a competency-based and systematic approach. The results of the article serve to improve the quality of education in higher education institutions.
