Abstract
Different government levels are currently discussing the leading role of the professional engineering community in economic and social development in Russia. The engineering education profile in Russia has been changing depending on the awareness of society of a necessity to achieve specific social and economic goals. Nowadays, training of professional engineers, able to contribute to the innovative development of the country and to strengthen its economic position in the global market, is one of the key priorities of the government. The article provides research of the drivers of professional choice of an engineering career in the Technical University of Tomsk. It is beyond any doubt that the drivers of professional choice influence the motivation to study and work. Professional choice is a prerequisite for lifetime self-determination , i.e., it sets out success and balance of the lives of the youth. The main goal of the research is to evaluate the current status of engineering student education and to determine the necessity to make changes to it. The research focuses on the following objectives: to determine the drivers of professional choice and to assess the level of the students’ satisfaction with it; to identify the reactions of those surveyed to the engineering education quality at the university, evaluation of the conditions, and opportunities for self-development.
