The International Engineering Case-In Championship consists of 77 qualifying stages, which take place at the sites of 37 universities participating in the project. NUST MISIS has been participating in the championship for the fourth year in a row, the university's press service reports.
The main objectives of the project are to identify and support promising and talented participants, popularize engineering and technical education, and search for personnel for domestic businesses. Case-In helps students to prove themselves to potential employers, and business representatives to mark the best.
The Case-In championship at NUST MISIS consists of three leagues: Metallurgy, Mining and Electric Power Engineering. The engineering cases were developed by leading industry companies such as EVRAZ, SUEK, and EuroChem.
The level of the presented cases was very difficult, in part because they described highly specialized problems of specific production activities. The metallurgical case was devoted to optimizing ferrovanadium production processes. The participants of the mining league had to solve a case on brown coal mining. The electric power industry solved the problem of efficient energy supply to an autonomous settlement.
The participants had to seriously prepare and study the technologies, the market and the specifics of specific industries. Some have already shown themselves to be real professionals: the winner of the metallurgical league, the Men of Steel team from EcoTech, has already won the Misis Case Cup in the fall of 2015. Previously, the members of this team solved a case on ferrous metallurgy developed by Norilsk Nickel. This year, the guys have already successfully dealt with the topic of vanadium production proposed by EVRAZ.
43 university and branch teams took part in the 2016 championship. For the first time this year, the teams of STI NUST MISIS were among the winners.
In the finals, NUST MISIS teams will compete for the title of the best engineering student teams. The winners can receive offers for internships and internships in leading industry companies, as well as participate in the summer educational programs "Mining School" (mining and geological exploration) and "Energy of Youth" (electric power industry).
The second congress of the All-Russian Union of Young Engineers of Mineral Resources and Energy Complexes was also held as part of the championship. More than 70 young engineers from leading enterprises, young scientists and students discussed the key projects of the union, the preparation and holding of the Energy Saving and Earth Festival, and issues of public control in the field of energy.
