The development of globalization processes requires the provision of scientific and technological leadership of economies. In solving this goal, universities are called upon to play a special role, which can ensure the competitiveness of engineering education. Among the main indicators of academic leadership are ensuring the world level of training content, increasing academic mobility, growing demand and efficiency of master's and postgraduate studies, increase in the number of online educational programs, increase in the number of competitive courses and programs taught online, development of a targeted training system. The key condition for increasing the competitiveness of engineering education is the strengthening of its integration with science and the industrial sector. This is due to the possibility of solving a set of tasks for the development of content, organization and management of the educational process. The effectiveness of their solution is determined by the composition of partners involved in joint activities. The analysis shows that there are trends in the expansion of partnerships and the intensification of international cooperation. This facilitates the development of various formats of interaction to improve the training of engineers. Among the most developing integrated forms of training are networked educational programs. A distinctive feature of their implementation is the growth in the number of participants in network partnerships, among them are universities (as a rule more than one), industry institutes, enterprises (more than one). The network format is being implemented and remains promising in the organization of student practices. The basic departments created at enterprises are the main instrument of targeted training. With the development of the system of professional standards, the role of integration of universities with enterprises in organizing and conducting procedures for assessing the qualifications of personnel has increased. The need to solve the problem of increasing the global competitiveness of education reinforces the requirement to develop the integration of universities with academic science in the form of scientific and educational centers, with foreign universities, enterprises and high-tech businesses.

The implementation of a low-carbon transition in industry is an important factor in improving the climate situation. All industries in Russia have begun to implement low-carbon development plans, but this task is most relevant for companies in the energy sector, whose activities are accompanied by large carbon emissions. The low-carbon transformation of petrochemical enterprises is associated with the introduction of circular technologies, increasing energy efficiency, reducing emissions and unproductive combustion of hydrocarbon gases, and intersectoral integration. Therefore, companies are highly interested in innovative engineers ready to solve these problems. In this regard, this paper is devoted to the study of the features of engineering activities and engineering education in the conditions of low-carbon development and analysis of the readiness of the educational process to implement engineering chemical-technological training. In order to study the content of engineering activities, the sustainable development strategies and the results of the low-carbon transformation of the leading industry companies were analyzed. Based on a survey of representatives of enterprises of various skill levels, the composition of the competencies of engineering personnel was determined, which included technological-transformational, environmental-regulatory, managerial-economic competencies of low-carbon development. For their formation, training program for chemical engineers has been developed, which is characterized by innovation, leading character, interdisciplinarity, a high level of environmental orientation, and the use of digital tools. The article presents the pedagogical methods and practices implemented at the Kazan National Research Technological University. They present a promising field in the engineering preparation for the transition to a low-carbon production.
