The article considers the potential of NBIC technologies and the prospects for the revolu-
tionary transformation of mankind via convergent technologies. The importance of the
idea of combining already known technologies to create a breakthrough effect in new
fields of knowledge is emphasized. It is conformed that engineering education as a cen-
tral link in the training of the future staff is of great importance. The significance of con-
vergent technologies in the training of a modern engineer is discussed. The necessity of
reformation of traditional engineering way of thinking to the innovative one is deter-
mined. Reasons are given for the problems in the formation of modern engineering edu-
cation in the realities of the social and economic infrastructure of Russia. The direct de-
pendence of the state competitiveness on its ability to create breakthrough technologies
and on the quality of training of the engineering personnel is indicated.
Keywords: NBIC technologies, convergent technologies, combining technologies, break-
through technologies, engineer of the future, engineering education
