The article problematizes the modern engineering education in the context of a philosophical approach. The specificity is formulated of this approach to the studied phenomenon: completeness, historicity, interrelation, anthropological character.  The following issues of our time influencing the modern engineering education are distinguished: the Bologna declaration, introduction of the CDIO innovative educational framework, fundamentality, interdisciplinary character, humanity, openness, continuity. The application of the philosophical approach allows making a conclusion about the necessity of making the future engineers aware of the fact that they will generate personal, communicational, technological and material public needs in the future; hence establishing responsibility and awareness of the inherent worth of human life becomes one of the crucial tasks for the engineering education.
