Abstract

The article describes causes and occasions of rise and functioning of Russian engineering dynasties. It emphasises necessity of interdisciplinary study of the dynasty as a social and cul­ tural phenomenon with an intergenerational family resource, family-based professional strat­ egy, informal methods and practices of parenting in an existing professional environment in conditions of altering economical, scientific, technical, social and cultural circumstances. Study of a professional dynasty rise and dying enables division of significant formation stag­ es and elucidates specific features of a Russian engineering dynasty functioning. Burning issues that should be resolved in the frame of modern modernization processes are mentioned. In particular, they represent low credibility and social status of engineership; absence of well-de­ veloped social and economical support of engineering development; lack of qualified engineers, on the one hand, and unpromising career of an engineer, on the other hand; non-consolidated engineering community. Authors propose several ways to improve efficiency of engineering community activity.
