The problems arising during the training of engineering personnel according to the two-level Bologna system are analyzed. Contradictions are revealed between the discrete nature of the formation of project and research-oriented competencies and the essence of engineering activity. The ways of overcoming this contradiction by combining bachelor’s and master's degrees into a single specialty program are proposed. It is concluded that within the framework of the specialty, it is possible to improve the quality of education without significant material costs, due to the methodology of the formation of curricula.

Key words: Bologna system, engineering training, specialty, competencies
