NCFU students - finalists of the CASE-IN Championship

Representatives of the North Caucasus Federal University have reached the finals of the VIII International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", which is part of the presidential platform "Russia – the land of Opportunities".

57 universities of Russia and CIS countries participate in the championship. During the qualifying stages, which will last until May, more than 10,000 future and young engineers of fuel and energy and mineral resources complexes solve cases on one of the priority topics for the global economy - "Technological modernization".

The competitions were promptly transferred to a remote format due to anti-epidemic measures in the regions of Russia. The student teams presented their solutions in the field of "Geological exploration" via video link. The experts, employees of industry companies and the North Caucasus Mining and Metallurgical Institute, also evaluated the students' ideas online and selected the best projects. NCFU was represented by four teams of the Institute of Oil and Gas, two of them became winners of the qualifying stage.

The NCFU "Oil Producers" team won silver awards. Vyacheslav Korolkov, Ekaterina Efimova, Alexey Kulachikhin, and Majid Adilavov will represent the university in the final of the "CASE-IN".

Representatives of the Neftyanik NCFU team Astemir Tengizov, Anastasia Mushegova, Timur Savich and Pavel Khavanov took the third place.

"The most difficult and interesting thing for us was to figure out the methodology for improving the efficiency of diamond mining," says team captain Astemir Tengizov. − This is the first time we are participating in the championship, and presenting our work to experts is an important experience for our team. Competitions allow you to learn a lot about kimberlite bodies, and, of course, to learn how to work in a team.

The final of the CASE-IN championship will be held in Moscow. The winners of the competition will receive valuable prizes, the opportunity to participate in the All-Russian industry summer forums, advantages in admission to graduate and postgraduate studies, and will also be able to complete internships in leading companies in the industry.
