The article is devoted to theoretical analysis of actual problems of development of formalized learning content about innovation in the fields of technical disciplines, which provide coordination of teaching hours with the amount of learning information, and characterized by flexibility and adaptability to constant updates, and reflecting the specific subject area and provides a combination of teachers’ teaching skills with reasonable complexity of the offered facts, concepts, relationships and structures for students. The main methods used in the study are theoretical analysis, comparison and synthesis of ideas in the development of learning content and its reduction, and theoretical modeling method of the reduced learning content about innovation in the fields of engineering sciences. The article suggests implementation of reduced content that combines modern development from known areas that include teaching of methodology of innovation process, causal learning and teaching of social responsibility in accordance with the ideas of Innovation Union. In addition to solving this problem, development is directed at the formation of socially responsible style of thinking of the future specialists. The proposed course content includes the following topics: representation of causal relationships within the blocks of information “Physical basis” and “Elements of Innovation” and relations between these blocks; combination of causal networks that contain blocks “Physical basis”, “Elements of Innovation”, “Methods of using innovation” and relations between the tops of the blocks, and ordered factual information about the specific implementation of the innovation, particularly in the context of social responsibility; socially responsible commercialization of innovation. The application of didactic reduction deprives students to understand the complex theory, formulas, graphs, monograms, etc. There are reduced elements of content, including forms and methods of production and distribution in the context of the structure of the industry, intellectual property rights, operations research and some economical and marketing aspects of the innovation process. Development can be used in higher school in the process of studying topics of modules, whole modules or specialized engineering courses. The prospect of further research is experimental verification of the effectiveness of teaching methods of innovation of the future engineers, where designed content is used.
