Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the diagnosis of Management learning state in the best Polish technical universities on Civil Engineers faculties. The authors pose the thesis that in the Polish technical universities there are too few Management courses, so that some of the civil engineers are unable to effectively carry out their tasks in managerial positions. The authors are looking for the confirmation of the thesis analysing twenty programs of Civil Engineering faculties. The average share of hourly subjects of Management in the total number of hours in the analysed faculties was 3%, which the authors deem a very low value. Based on the analysis of literature, the authors recognize that Management knowledge is essential for civil engineers from a certain stage of their careers. The competency gap associated with social and interpersonal competencies can be completed through the tools of lifelong learning, so that engineers with very good technical knowledge will be also able to effectively carry out management tasks.
