In the era of globalization and rapid technological advancement, foreign language proficiency has become an essential component of professional competence for engineers. The engineering industry increasingly relies on international cooperation, access to global scientific resources, and the implementation of advanced technologies developed in different countries. This article examines the role of foreign language knowledge, particularly English, in the development of the engineering sector. The study highlights the impact of language competence on professional communication, technological innovation, scientific research, and workforce competitiveness. The findings indicate that foreign language proficiency significantly contributes to the modernization of engineering education and industry by facilitating knowledge transfer, international collaboration, and professional development.
