“…Current integration of Russian education system into the global education network presupposes introduction of additional international professional requirements into the state educational standard of professional training. Thus, Washington Accord (WA) and European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE) described general requirements to the competencies of engineering graduates taking into consideration particularities of national education systems, including the following: knowledge of engineering subjects (application of knowledge of mathematics, natural philosophy and applied science, along with specialization knowledge for conceptualization of engineering models); analyses of engineering tasks (identification, formulation, studying and solving complex engineering tasks to achieve necessary results using mathematical and engineering science), design and development of engineering solutions (designing solutions of complex engineering tasks, developing systems, components or processes to meet specific requirements with consideration for cultural, social and ecological aspects of health and environment safety); research (carrying out research for complex engineering tasks, including performance of an experiment, analyses and interpretation of acquired data, synthesis of information required to achieve the necessary results); use of modern set of tools (creating, selecting and applying corresponding technology, resources and engineering practices, including forecasting and simulation, to perform engineering in a resource-constrained environment); individual and team work (efficient operation both as an individual specialist and as a member or a leader of a team, inter alia a multidisciplinary one); communication (effective communication with a professional team and with the community in general in the process of performing engineering work, writing reports, completing paperwork, presenting materials, giving and receiving clear articulate instructions); engineer and community (understanding social and cultural aspects, issues in the field of health and environment safety, consideration of legal restrictions and liabilities associated with performance of engineering work); ethics (adherence to professional code of conduct and responsibility, as well as following best engineering practices); environment and sustainability (understanding the consequences of engineering solutions in the social context and showing knowledge to solve the challenges of sustainability); project management and finance (knowledge of management and business practices, including change and risk management, understanding the associated restrictions); lifelong learning (understanding the necessity of and having the ability to be a lifelong learner) [1,2]. Therefore, engineering competence is a complex system of scientific and professional knowledge and skills, personal and professional abilities, which has to meet international standards of professionalism.…”
