This article is devoted to the problem of improving the quality of engineering education in Russia. The gap in the quality of engineering education and the growing requirements for graduates become increasingly noticeable and is an obstacle to the reforming and upgrading the Russian economy. The success of Soviet engineering schools was mainly associated with two military mega-projects: aerospace and nuclear involved leading technical universities. The transition to a market economy and integration into the global economic system require reforming engineering programs, strengthening the economic training of engineers and restructuring the technical universities. The Russian leading technical universities occupy relatively low ranks in international rankings. The purpose of this article is to help in choosing ways (trends) to improve the quality of Russian engineering education by means of a critical analysis of the leading world technical universities’ experience.
