Abstract

This chapter presents prognostic analysis results concerning the changes in the engineering competence requirements. It is noted that professional competences of future experts in this field are undergoing certain changes related to the need for operating complex systems and working in a team in uncertain contexts in order to support and ensure good management throughout the entire high-tech systems life-cycle. It has been established that certain technological areas of the National Technology Initiative (NTI), which is being implemented now, are not provided with the educational training programs by the adopted Federal National Educational Standards (FNES). This chapter also focuses on the role of Worldwide CDIO Initiative international engineering standards of education in the development of new engineering competence assessment tools to enhance the national system of educational standards and includes National Research Nuclear University MEPhI's own educational standards in higher education as an example.
