The article reveals the content of pedagogical work activities for teaching staff in the main activities of the Department (academic, educational, methodical, scientific and organizational-methodical work). We have offered a rational standard time for their quality execution, allowing improving the quality of training of university graduates. It is proposed to consider additional classes and consultations in the burden time of teachers, as well as the norms of time for preparation for publishing educational and scientific literature, development of training, methodological, logistical and organizational-methodical work. It is shown, that the participation of teachers in researches and development with the aim of earning money for the University reduces the level of the educational process. To improve the quality of training of students, we have offered a number of key measures that needed to be organized by the Ministry of education and science of the Russian Federation, and also, by employees of the administrative apparatus of universities

The article reveals the shortcomings of adopted criteria for performance evaluation of universities and offers science-based indicators to assess the ability of the university to organize the quality of training of graduates

The article elucidates reasons for the falling prestige of higher technical professional education in Russia and based on their analysis we propose measures aimed at raising the status of technical specialists. These activities include: development of a strategic plan of development of higher professional education, a system of vocational guidance of graduates of secondary educational institutions; improvement of quality of preparation of scientific-pedagogical staff and development of effective system of training of teachers; the quality of the educational process and development of effective system of training of graduates; development of objective criteria for assessing the effectiveness of universities; development of a system of Patriotic education of students of secondary and higher educational institutions; increase of salaries of specialists, influencing the country's economic development, the status and prestige of the profession of high school teacher.

The implementation of the considered measures will allow to raise prestige of higher technical professional education and quality training of students

The main structural units of the University are departments; the results of their work influence the quality of knowledge, skills and competence of graduates and the image of the University. The article reveals the reasons of unproductive interaction of the departments with divisions, providing educational process; it also discusses suggestions that will improve the performance of the main indicators of assessment of the efficiency of activities of the University. It is shown, that a systematic approach is the basis in the organization of work of structural divisions of the University, but it is difficult to implement, if managers and supervisors do not have authority.

To achieve high results in training in-demand graduates is possible when the offices and the departments will work as a team with the lecturers, in cooperation and understanding
