Abstract: In the contemporary context of global challenges and economic sanctions, ensuring the scientific and technological sovereignty of Russia is one of the priority tasks. Achieving this objective is unattainable without a highly qualified engineering workforce, the training of which necessitates a radical transformation of the engineering education system. The aim of this article is to investigate the problematic areas of engineering education in light of current economic challenges and labor market needs, to delineate the place and role of engineering education within the broader framework of workforce training, and to develop strategies for transforming the engineering workforce preparation system. It is proposed that the formation of these strategies be implemented through the synchronization of educational programs, the introduction of innovative teaching methods, and the enhancement of qualifications for educators, scientists, and researchers in partnership with industrial companies. The research findings are based on an analysis of scientific publications regarding engineering workforce preparation issues and a survey conducted among experts in this field. As a result of the study, key directions for improving engineering education have been identified, which include active collaboration with industry, modernization of curricula, and professional development for educators, thereby facilitating the integration of technological innovations into the educational process.
