Future engineers of the Rostov region took part in the qualifying stage of the "CASE-IN"

The qualifying stage of the Student League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" was held at the Platov South Russian State Polytechnic University (NPI).

To build a mini-power plant at the Shakhty Metallurgical plant, powered by excess heat from steelmaking furnaces. Or to obtain useful energy by pyrolysis of waste at a waste recycling plant. It turns out that students can solve such problems. But not for those who study for the sake of a mark in the test, but for those who know how to apply their knowledge in practice and participate in the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".

"What the task is is that we have to provide the experts with a solution that is really feasible to implement. That is, economically justified, politically justified, and which is truly real.", - says Sergey Timofeev, a member of the Genius team.

The CASE-IN championship is included in the presidential platform "Russia - the land of Opportunities" and opens up new limitless horizons for growth and development for the participants.

"This is the point - that each participant can learn how to work in a team, can prove himself and learn something new", - This is Veronika Lebedeva, the captain of the KIUM-100 team.

The participants form teams of 3-4 people, each of which has to solve a complex engineering problem - the case is different. It takes 10 days to find a solution and create a project. Then protection. This is the first qualifying stage.

This year, students of Novocherkassk Polytechnic University, in addition to the already familiar areas of "Electric Power Engineering" and "Mining", compete in a new competence - "Digital Atom". This is not only prestigious for the university, but also useful.

"If they take prizes and leading positions, it is clear that we are moving in the right direction. If the organizers and participants from the industrial enterprises that form these cases make any comments to us, we have the opportunity to adjust our educational program.", - says Evgeny Dyakonov, Vice-rector for Educational Activities of the YURSPU (NPI).

All participants in the process benefit. Industry companies and corporations are looking for future personnel, and students, even those who are still far from graduation, are proving their professional worth.

This year, almost two dozen industry companies became partners of the CASE-IN championship. They will offer internships, internships and employment opportunities to the best participants and winners. This is the main motivation for those who participate in this intellectual competition. To qualify for this prize, you need to prove that you are the best of the best. The participants of the Student League will have to do this in the coming weeks. By the end of March and in April, qualifying stages will be held throughout Russia, followed by semi-finals in the federal districts. Well, the best teams will meet in the finals in Moscow at the end of May.
