This paper describes a proposed redesign of the instruction and assessment of the Co-operative (Co-op) Education (or work term) components of the University of Victoria Engineering program. The redesign ensures instruction and assessment of the higher-level Graduate Attributes (GAs), such as individual and teamwork, communication skills, professionalism, impact on society, ethics and equity, economics and project management, and life-long learning, that may not be included in all of the technical courses in a traditional Engineering curriculum. Concurrently, the redesign includes a renewed emphasis on improving the technical writing competency of graduating engineers by: ‘laddering’ student technical writing development; introduction a new grading scheme; increased timeframes for report revisions; and, finally, reducing the number of pedagogically ineffective reports required to graduate.

Introduction: the article is devoted to the analysis of normative acts regulating the application of project and program management principles in the budget planning process in Russia. Objectives: to assess the regulatory framework of project and program management for its integrity, consistency and compliance with budget legislation and international standards of program and project management; to formulate the areas to optimize program and project budgeting in Russia. Methods: the research uses methods of comparative legal and system analysis. Results: the main issues in legal regulation in the field of research are identified, including: non-compliance of the actual strategic planning procedure with the requirements of the federal law; excessive number and mutual duplication of the content of project and program documents in the absence of their clear hierarchy; non-compliance in the Russian legislation with such basic principles of project and program management as the limited time of the goals and objectives in program documents, concentration of powers to manage projects (programs) and responsibility for their results in the same position; the actual withdrawal of the legislative power and the Russian Government from participation in program and project management; dual power in industry management. Conclusions: to overcome the above shortcomings the following measures, among all, are advisable: to fix the status of national projects in the Federal Law “On strategic planning in the Russian Federation” as the fundamental planning documents; to include data on the volume of their financial support and main activities in national projects, excluding current costs and measures already listed in the state programs; to restore the powers of the Russian Government to give approval on the national projects content (passports) as well as the federal projects outside the national ones; to bridge the gap between the powers and responsibilities of program (project) managers.
