The article provides an overview of Russian and international educational standards and expected learning outcomes for students of engineering majors in order to identify the principles of shaping their engineering invention competencies. The authors compare the requirements to competencies of Russian engineering university graduates (according to FGOS-3) and the requirements of international accreditation agencies and organizations (CDIO, ABET, FEANI, EMF, APEC, Washington Accord). The comparison of different educational standards and expected learning outcomes revealed that Russian universities pay insufficient attention to developing engineering competencies. The following standards were selected to perform a comparative assessment of the international and Russian engineering education standards according to AEER: the Washington Accord as an American national engineering education system that is the first and the most established in its positions; the FEANI international organization as a European system model that allows for different pathways leading to receiving the professional status of a European Engineer; and the CDIO Initiative as a new concept of developing unified requirements to the competencebased approach to engineering education according to the American and the European models.
