The authors used a mixed methodology approach to explore how often and in what real-life situations current and former students use the English language. 107 paper questionnaires were completed by master’s degree students in class and the answers were counted; 123 responses were received online from 2015 and 2016 graduates and processed statistically; 17 structured interviews with college administrators and subject professors were recorded and then coded for the main categories. The results demonstrate that despite dramatic changes at NUST MISiS under The Competitiveness Enhancement Program 5-100, good English competence is not a priority, with the majority of young graduates being ‘unsure’ about its benefits for their career and some administrators calling it ‘the least required competence’. However, the English language needs vary across subject departments. Thus, students majoring in new materials and programming use English on a regular basis, while economists and metallurgists might not really need it in both studies and future job. Overall, the most required skill is reading, and the least used ones are oral communication and academic writing in English. The authors discuss how orientation on potential rather than actual needs can affect the ESP/EAP course design in the context of engineering education in Russia.</abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru">В статье рассматривается потребность в изучении английского языка у студентов и недавних выпускников российского инженерного вуза - НИТУ МИСиС. Авторы изучали, насколько часто и в каких ситуациях в академическом и профессиональном контексте респондентам необходимо знание английского языка. Для исследования была использована смешанная качественная и количественная методология. Были проанализированы 107 бумажных анкет студентов-магистров, статистически обработаны 123 результата онлайн-опроса выпускников университета 2015 и 2016 годов, а также проведены 17 структурированных интервью с руководителями подразделений и профессорами предметных кафедр с целью выделения основных категорий использования английского языка как инструмента общения. В результате было показано, что, несмотря на значительные успехи НИТУ МИСиС на пути интернализациации в рамках Проекта 5-100, владение английским языком все еще не является приоритетом. Большинство вчерашних выпускников «не уверено», что это помогло им в трудоустройстве, а некоторые администраторы считают эту компетенцию наименее востребованной. Тем не менее степень использования английского языка зависит от специализации студента: научные направления и программирование без этого невозможны, тогда как экономисты и многие инженерные специальности могут коммуницировать исключительно на родном языке. Авторы размышляют о том, как ориентация на потенциальные нужды студентов отражается на дизайне курсов академического и специального английского языка.</trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>needs analysis</kwd><kwd>English</kwd><kwd>engineering students</kwd><kwd>employment</kwd><kwd>questionnaires</kwd><kwd>structured interviews</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>анализ потребностей</kwd><kwd>английский язык</kwd><kwd>студенты инженерных специальностей</kwd><kwd>трудоустройство</kwd><kwd>анкетирование</kwd><kwd>систематизированные интервью</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Arefiev, A.
