In the area of computer sciences there is a rapidly developing subject of mechatronics and robotics since its relevance to the fourth industrial revolution, especially in preprofessional education – schools etc. On the other side, technologies of virtual reality (VR technologies) have been spreading in education so far, including computer sciences and mechatronics and robotics education in Russian leading research universities. In National Research Nuclear University MEPhI we have a broad experience of application of hi-tech in education. In this paper we present the results of our practical research of application of VR instruments in preprofessional education in the area of mechatronics and robotics. One of the features of our research is that we have developed the educational program for obtaining practical skills in the area of VR digital technologies in compliance with the CDIO standards.
