ENGINEERING EDUCATION IN RUSSIA
The Association for Engineering
Education in Russia is one of the key
country's establishments which determine the policy of
engineering education, ensure
cooperation of engineering institutions with
domestic and foreign partners,
state and social organizations.
Currently, engineering education
represents the most scaled system of
the Russian higher vocational school.
In Russia, 346 state universities provide training of engineers.
Moreover, the training of specialists in the sphere of technology
is performed by 112 private universities having the license
for educational services; 33 of these universities have state
accreditation.
