“…Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University undertakes a lot of studies on the professional competences of engineers and improvement of the quality of their training (Akhmetshin et al, 2019;Almazova, Baranova, & Khalyapina, 2019;Kogan, Gavrilova, & Nesterov, 2018;Kuzmin, 2018;Necheukhina, Matveeva, Babkin, & Makarova, 2017;Pokrovskaia, Petrov, & Gridneva, 2018;Rudskoy, Borovkov, & Romanov, 2018).…”

The article analyzes challenges in teaching legal disciplines at higher schools of engineering focus and describes the contributors own practical experience in the issues under consideration. The authors substantiate the need to critically rethink approaches to teaching legal disciplines at engineering universities, emphasizing the low level of legal consciousness and legal culture among students. While designating the degree of the problem, the authors suggest ways to increase the overall level of legal literacy of students and cite as an example one of the interactive engagement methods of students in legal practice. The authors underpin their research with the theoretical frameworks and hands-on experience of researchers from Russia and abroad. The main research methods included analysis, synthesis, questioning, observation, survey, and comparison. The authors have explored into the issues of legal education, formation of legal culture among engineering students and suggested the most efficient ways to overcome the crisis of legal knowledge. In research, the authors developed and described an interactive engagement method of students studying legal disciplines in the realities of practicing law. The study resulted in the following basic conclusions: the main objectives of teaching legal disciplines at engineering universities are to enhance legal literacy, legal culture and legal consciousness of students; educating specialists capable to provide legal support in the industry is impossible without overcoming ignorance of law; the dialectical connection between the level of students' legal consciousness and the quality of their legal education is one of the key factors of efficient educational process.

“…The competence model is widely used in the higher education system, but there are very few studies on the ratio of the necessary and achieved level of competence, they are of a specific nature, not always allowing to extrapolate the results to other educational areas. Nevertheless, the results obtained, for example, in the studies of Melo and Gonçalves (2017), Ivascu, Tămășilă, Tăucean, Cioca and Izvercian (2017), Pokrovskaia, Petrov and Gridneva (2018) allow us to reconceive the process of training a competent specialist of the future.…”

“…The first question relates to determining the consumers, among whom three essential categories can be distinguished-the customers (families and parents of students), the consumers (learners themselves), and the employers who will implement the competences and skills of the graduates after their university in the value-creation chains as highly skilled and qualified human resources [7,8].…”

Higher education has complex roles in society, the economy, and politics; it helps to transmit culture, transfer knowledge, and develop the personality of citizens. This diversity of roles is confronted with the limited resources that are related to the sources of financing, that is, students and their families, the national government, and local authorities, among others. The discussions related to the role of universities concern the economy of knowledge and the digital tools influencing education. The specific case of St. Petersburg universities simultaneously represents the impact of the deep socio-political transition from Soviet society to the liberal principles of a market economy, including the perception of higher education institutions as service sector companies. The services allowed by universities include research and training; however, from the consumer point of view, universities should create specific value: the increase of the intellectual components of human capital. These complex functions are interconnected. During 2017–2018, a survey in St. Petersburg was organised to ascertain the opinion of students, professors, and employers on the quality of education. The results of the survey demonstrate the impact of the exaggerated implementation of the liberal principles on education, both positive and negative. The positive effect is the renewing of content and innovative training techniques due to competition among universities. The negative impacts include the preference for popular disciplines and the opportunistic behavior of students that lose their passion for acquiring knowledge and choose instead the passive attitude of consumers of a competitive service. They are less interested in the sphere of their studies, in searching for a job, in the interaction with other social and economic actors, and even in the research and education options presented by the universities.
