One of the trends in university development is tending to University 3.0 (Education, Science, and Entrepreneurship). It determines inescapable changes in a future engineer education. Demand in such educational programs is obvious; they would combine technical aspect of the idea with its commercial implementation. Synergetic effect appears only when engineer’s talent meets manager’s talent. That’s why development of entrepreneurial competencies of the students is set to become one of the learning objectives in engineering university. The paper describes system of the entrepreneurial competencies development in the context of a research university.
