Annotation: This article explores the integration of project-based learning with elements of industrial development in IT, aimed at bridging the gap between graduates’ theoretical knowledge and employer requirements. Key components of industrial integration are highlighted, including real projects, industry roles and processes, the use of an indus- trial technology stack, mentoring, and tracking. The article proposes integrating project-based learning with elements of industrial development, such as Git, CI/CD, and cross-review. It also examines the author’s model of a practice-oriented course in IT, which shifts the focus from passive theoretical acquisition to “learning by doing”, simulating real work processes in a learning environment. An empirical study of the model’s effectiveness was conducted at MEPHI University. This proven principle for constructing a thematic structure for disciplines in the IT field can be applied to the development of other courses.
