Abstract

Transport is one of the most important spheres in the sustainable development of countries and regions. Therefore, the article analyses the extension of the concept of sustainable development in Russian higher education in transport engineering and economics. We analysed the higher education standards and educational programs of universities, identified problems in the implementation of the concept of sustainable development in Russian higher education in the field of transport engineering and suggested ways to address them.

Highlights

  • All over the world the sustainable development stands for the main possible global concept of social progress in the frames of the growing global human problems

  • As a number of countries have already faced the problem of economic obstacles to sustainable development [15,16,17], we propose that the gap between the Transport Enterprise Economy and Sustainable Development Economics must be closed (Figure 1)

There no economic competencies in educational programmes in Land and Air Transport This is the first problem of education for sustainable development.
