Future engineers will present their ideas at the final of the International CASE-IN Championship

Winners and prize-winners the qualifying stage VIII The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN» The event, which took place this year in a remote format, received coveted awards at the award ceremony.

Students of the Nosov Moscow State Technical University have been presenting their ideas on solving engineering cases for the seventh year in a row. This year, future engineers had to plunge into one of the priority topics for the Russian and global economies – technological modernization. On the basis of the university, the qualifying stage was held in the traditional areas of mining, metallurgy and electric power industry, but in an unconventional format – for the first time, participants defended their decisions online. Experts – representatives of industry companies – evaluated the projects and selected the best teams.

"The Case-In Championship, in my opinion, is one of the most modern, interesting, and useful competition and training formats that exist today. I am very grateful to the organizers for the fact that we have such an opportunity to solve the cases compiled by our leading enterprises and consider relevant tasks that contribute to their development.", - the Vice-rector for Academic Affairs of MSTU opened the meeting Olga Nazarova.

The task of future mining engineers was to develop a method to reduce the contamination of the atmospheric environment of the Yubileyny quarry, which is located on the territory of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Future metallurgists were looking for a solution to modernize the vanadium production technology needed for the production of grade steel and cast iron. And future power engineers presented ideas for the modernization of the Unified National Electric Grid of the UES of Russia.

"By solving these practical cases, you have the opportunity to evaluate your university-acquired competencies and compare them with what is needed in the real economy today. And at the same time, you can look at your future employers. Perhaps you will join the cohort of the personnel reserve of these enterprises, you will be noticed and invited to work. You have made a big step forward in your personal and professional development, and this is the most important thing.", - the Vice -rector for International Affairs of the Moscow State Technical University addressed the participants Alexey Korchunov.

The best solutions were highly appreciated by the members of the expert commission, who noted the thorough and in-depth study of ideas, and also stressed that the new online format introduced in connection with the spread of the new coronavirus infection did not affect the quality of solutions, and that the qualifying stage of the championship was successful.

The guests of the qualifying stage, the team of Tyumen Industrial University, became the winner in the field of metallurgy this year. "Bursting machine". The second place was taken by the MSTU team "Heavy Hammer", and the third is the "NanoDeformation" command.

In the direction of mining, the best solution was presented by the team "Trembling of the earth". The second place was taken by the "Power of the Subsoil" team, and the third place was taken by the "Adamas" team.

Among the participants of the electric power industry direction, the following team received a ticket to the championship finals "Transformers". The team "YouthandEnergy" took the second place, and the bronze medal was won by the students of "TiriSTARs".

The winners of the qualifying stage will compete in the finals of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", which will traditionally be held in Moscow and will bring together the best student engineering teams from 56 universities in Russia and the CIS countries.

By the way, the finalists of the 2020 qualifying stage have something to focus on: last year was marked by the resounding victories of the Nosov Moscow State Technical University teams at the international championship – 1st place in the mining league and 3rd place in the metallurgy field. Therefore, we wish our participants to add new victories to the collection of international achievements!

The organizers of the championship are the Reliable Change Foundation, the Non-profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders and LLC AstraLogica with the support of ANO Russia – the Land of Opportunities.
