IMPROVEMENT IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION.Introduction.Nowadays there is a common concern about the quality of the training of future engineers tobecome not only technically exceptional but also innovative and prepared to work in an everchanging global economy and to meet the different challenges they’ll face. For instance, many ofthe visions of the ‘2020 Engineer’ [1] suggest that the education of the XXI Century engineermust be: (i) student-centered, (ii) supported by applied research, and (iii) provided withmeaningful experiences at all times. Thus, an engineer must have the necessary skills to addressscenarios such as the next scientific revolution, the revolution biotechnology in a social context,prevention and recovery from natural

progress of the faculty and teaching methods which are used in order to workwith adults.BackgroundWhile Russia was part of the Soviet Union, it was a "closed" country with limitedinternational contacts where education and science developed successfully thoughindependently. In science, there were a large number of journals in the Russian language, andthe conferences which were held in the Soviet Union, were only in the Russian language. Intechnical and engineering education, all the textbooks and manuals were in Russian, eitherwritten by the Soviet scientists, or translated into Russian from other languages. The latterwas true for very few textbooks, e.g. textbooks in physical chemistry by Peter Atkins(Oxford). English language teaching, especially
