Formation of key competencies in the sphere of engineering services

Aim. Formation of measures for training in-demand specialists in the field of engineering in accordance with modern requirements to their competences.

Tasks. To analyze the global and domestic market of engineering services; to identify the key problems of formation of competencies demanded by the labor market in engineering specialists; to propose measures to introduce effective mechanisms for the formation of basic engineering competencies in the training of engineering personnel; to consider examples of effective engineering in Russia.

Methods. With the help of general methods of scientific cognition the requirements to specialists in the field of engineering, conditioned by modern global trends, are defined, the key problems in the formation of competencies in engineering personnel are identified and the main directions of their solutions are proposed. The authors also present examples of effective engineering in Russia.

Results. Based on the primary research of the current state of engineering staffing in Russia, a number of problems have been identified. The main trends determining the list of key competencies demanded in the engineering sphere are shown. Significant discrepancy between the Russian standardization system and the best international practices, professional standards and federal educational standards can be traced among the significant problems hindering the formation of demanded professional competencies in the field of engineering.

Conclusions. To form future specialists’ understanding of the dependence of economic results of the project on their decisions, it is proposed to introduce case-based learning technologies in the educational process. The basic list of necessary competencies in the field of engineering services proposed by the authors will promote the specialist’s career advancement.
