The paper describes experience in training professional responsibility of future power engineers through introducing a special educational course into the academic program, the course containing actual information on power facilities designing, mounting, setup, and operation in different countries. Modern industry widely employs complex engineering systems comprising a great number of various objects linked to one another, the links reflecting technological and converting processes. Even with

Operation of complex engineering systems, especially in power industry, can bring about occurrence of emergency or abnormal situations that may result in danger for people and environment. In the overwhelming majority of such cases, the cause of the emergency is the human factor, that is a mistake of those people who designed, mounted, made repairs, or operated the facilities. The engineering staff operation accuracy affects the speed of emergency response and the sequence of the standard operating conditions disturbance: whether it will be eliminated or evolve into a severe accident. That is why the essential and relevant solution is formation of professional personality of the engineer at the stage of his obtaining professional training at university. The extreme importance of this problem is proved by the rise in technological accidents (disasters) in all countries of the world. The content of professional training at a technical university must provide for students' study and practical application of techniques, skills and practices that help form special knowledge, including legal one, which will be required for future professional activity, allow avoiding possible mistakes in designing, mounting and operating technical objects, and decrease probability of fault occurrence. In this context, increasing is the role of close alliance between the specialty-training departments and industry, search for possibilities to improve efficiency of graduates' practical training directly on the basis of relevant industrial facilities, organization of education with actual examples of complex technical systems operation.
