Introduction. The engineering profession is highly popular today, and civil engineering is one of the most in-demand fields in the labor market. Engineering programs attract many applicants, which is why a variety of universities offer such programs — for example, civil engineering programs are available at specialized, polytechnic and classical universities. Modern Russia requires not only specialists who have acquired the necessary professional knowledge, but engineers who possess a solid fundamental background and are capable of innovative activity. The study of physical laws provides both fundamental knowledge and essential professional competencies. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the content of physics courses within engineering programs across different universities.
Materials and Methods. This study examines the training of civil engineers at universities including SPbPU, SKFU, NRU MGSU, SPbGASU, and SPMU. A comparative analysis of physics syllabi available on the official university websites was conducted. Particular attention was paid to the organization of laboratory practical training, as laboratory work enables future civil engineers to gain hands-on experience with real equipment and develop essential professional competencies.
Results. The analysis revealed significant differences in the teaching of physics. First, there is an imbalance between fundamental sections and profession-related topics. Additionally, some universities rely on computer models for laboratory practical training, lacking access to real devices and full-scale experimental setups. The study highlights the need to update laboratory training for future civil engineers and identifies key principles for its organization.
Conclusions. Modern practical training in physics should incorporate full-scale experiments and focus on professionally relevant physical phenomena. An updated laboratory component, either as part of a physics course or as a separate specialized course, is expected to enhance the professional competence of future engineers.
