In Omsk, young power engineers became participants of the "CASE-IN" qualifying stage

On March 17, Omsk State Technical University hosted the qualifying stage of the Student League in the field of "Electric Power Engineering" of the IX International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, which is part of the presidential platform "Russia – the Land of Opportunities".

The International Engineering CASE-IN Championship is a system of competitions for solving engineering cases among students, schoolchildren and young professionals. Its concept includes the idea of popularizing engineering and technical education and attracting the most promising young specialists to the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes.

Anatoly Polynsky, Vice-rector for Educational Activities of OmSTU:

"The CASE-IN Championship is not just an Olympiad for students, it is an opportunity to solve real production tasks, which, unfortunately, is rare in the educational process. This kind of competition is an attempt to try yourself, to open up wider opportunities for your development. Participation in the "CASE-IN" is already a victory. I hope that the students will get a lot of impressions and enjoy participating in the championship."

10 teams took part in the championship, which included 36 undergraduate, specialist and master's degree students from Omsk State Technical University, Omsk State University of Railway Communications and Ugra State University. During the qualifying stage, the participants defended technological solutions for industrial enterprises on the topic of "Sustainable development" to experts. The work of the participants was appreciated by recognized industry experts and representatives of the faculty of universities, including: Alexander Dainovich, Senior Engineer of the Department of Automated Systems at NPO Mir LLC, Ivan Murin, Head of the Department of Technological Development, Innovation, Energy Conservation and Energy Efficiency Improvement at the branch of PJSC Rosseti Siberia - Omskenergo, Dean of the Omsk Institute of Energy Andrey Tatevosyan, Professor of the Institute of Oil and Gas at Yugra State University Dmitry Osipov and others.

It should be noted that the results of the qualifying stage will be known within a few days.

Kirill Olenev, participant of the championship:

"This is the third time I have participated in the CASE-IN. The competition allows you to learn about new technologies, gain in-depth knowledge about the energy industry, and also understand what problems are currently relevant in this area. We distributed the tasks for solving the case among ourselves in the team, each performed a specific role: an economist, an analyst, and others. Last year, we were just a little short of making it to the finals. We hope that this time we will be able to enter the top three." 

The best teams of the qualifying stage will meet in the semi-finals of the championship, and the winners will face the final in Moscow. It will bring together the best student engineering teams from universities in Russia and the CIS countries. The winners will receive valuable prizes, the opportunity to participate in the All-Russian industry summer forums, advantages in admission to master's and postgraduate programs at 20 partner universities of the championship, and will also be able to complete internships at leading companies in the industry.
