The article examines issues of organizing a quality management system for engineering education based on the PDCA cycle (Plan-Do-Check-Act). It analyzes the theoretical foundations of applying the Deming cycle in the educational environment and the specifics of implementing each stage of the cycle in the context of engineering training. Practical recommendations for implementing a continuous improvement system for the educational process quality are presented.
