In modern society the understanding is growing that eradication of legal illiteracy of the population is not only a condition of the existence of a democratic civil society in the modern state, but also a mandatory requirement for the vocational training of a competent specialist, including construction industry. The acquisition of legal knowledge in professional sphere predominantly is carried out in the university through formation of legal competence. Thus, the role and importance of legal competence formation is determined with account of state educational policy. It is pointed out that legal competence is present in all subgroups of general competence. The article considers the problem of formation of future engineer’s legal competence as well as suggests some ways to solve it.

Summary
The change of the traditional education paradigm to the learner-centered one and transition of Russian education to testate educational standards require the higher school to improve the vocational training of a student to become a competent specialist in his professional sphere and in the legal one[1,2].The concept of modernization of the Russian education determines the educational system to train people able to live in a civil society and constitutional state, as well as able to create them. The change of the traditional education paradigm to the learner-centered one and transition of Russian education to testate educational standards require the higher school to improve the vocational training of a student to become a competent specialist in his professional sphere and in the legal one[1,2]. The system forms a new type of person – “law-conscious citizen”, who is characterized by a high level of legal competence and legal culture. The urgency of this problem consists in an increase of the legal culture level of non-legal specialists, including the civil engineering sector. There is a number of contradictions, which impede solution of the problem of the legal competence formation of a student during his study at university. Saraeva[3] identifies in his thesis the following challenges: - between contemporary society’s requirements of a high competence level of a specialist and traditional approaches with a good knowledge in the legal regulation; - between attempts to introduce a block of legal disciplines into the system of higher education and a real level of legal knowledge; - between the need for future specialist to be up to speed on the legislation, its implementation mechanisms and ways to protect their inalienable rights
