One of the conceptual features of the process of modernization of higher technical education in Russia is a sharp increase in the time allocated for industrial practice. Whereas in the case of bachelors it is conducted only once during the entire period of study, at the end of the third year, for two to three weeks, the modified curricula envision an increase in its duration to a total of 10 months.
