The article presents and justifies the need to do research on students’ attitudes towards curriculum content. Theoretical considerations were supplemented by research on the attitudes of mechatronics students before and after the content of the electronics subject, which occurs in the 90-hour study program (45 hours of lectures and 45 hours of laboratory exercises). The conducted research using the semantic differential method showed that an implementation of program content plays a significant role in shaping attitudes – an increase of the synthetic rate from 1.51 to 2.30. Participation of students in program classes results in increasing the direction, strength and permanence of students’ attitudes towards electronic technology.
