Abstract During the studying, future engineers must realise the dependence of professional activity on calls of the times, the state policy, human needs and at the same time understand that technologies change different life aspects both of the human and all biosphere. According to this thesis, the authors pay attention to the problem of cognitive strategies creation which allow forming the social responsibility principles of future engineers during their education. In the work the comparative analysis method is used, i.e. theoretical and experimental researches were being simultaneously conducted in this field. The goal is to form the educational method which will allow students getting a bachelor's degree in technologies to understand that the engineer influences the world by manufactured goods. As a result of applying the project educational method in the Philosophy course, students have received necessary social cultural skills: realizing the anthropocentricity of the engineering profession and engineer's responsibility towards society, understanding basic tendencies of social development and forming the strategic view on reality.
