importance of some competencies. In particular, engineersmust supplement technical mastery with communication and business skills, ability to workeffectively as an individual and as a member or leader of a team, understanding of ethical,health, and safety issues, as well as social impact of engineering solutions and theirprofessional activity. The importance of life-long learning in engineering profession is alsoincreasing because of a rapidly changing technologies and industry demands. To translatecurrent and perspective needs of industry and to eliminate a mismatch between academicrequirements and competencies needed in the workplace national engineering educationsocieties are created. They provide an opportunity for stakeholders to be engaged

forgenerations to come”. The sustainable development strategy should be taken intoaccount by each state, each institution, and each person in the country. Technicaluniversities in Russia play a key role in engagement and dissemination of suchsustainability principles, as resource efficiency, ecology protection, nonproliferationand disarmament, engineering ethics, etc. Educational process is arranged in a waythat technical disciplines include aspects of social awareness, lean productiontechnics, smart cities ideas and many others. Therefore while studying technicaldisciplines and working on professional projects future engineers develop, forinstance, such competencies as ability to apply a systems thinking approach forcomplex problem solving with
