Abstract
The article encompasses the results of Tomsk Polytechnic University research on principles of Responsible Resource Management; underlines the approach implemented at TPU for enhancing engineering education in line with these principles and fostering students’ sustainability competences and mindset. Best practices of creating specific educational environments at universities for fostering students’ mindset are addressed. The concept of Responsible Education is proposed.
