Case solving was chosen as the main educational tool.
The International Engineering Case-In Championship, which takes place for the fourth year in a row, is the successor of the All-Russian Mining Case Solving Championship (2013, 2014) and the All-Russian Fuel and Energy Case Solving Championship (2015) and consists of five league areas: Electric power, Mining, Geological Exploration, Metallurgy, Oil and Gas the case.
During the championship, students and graduate students of the Geological Exploration University, as part of teams, offered solutions to engineering cases developed based on materials from leading industry companies. The ideas of the participants were evaluated by a specially formed expert jury consisting of representatives of fuel and energy complex and MSC companies, government authorities, scientific and educational organizations.
The choice of case technology as a key educational tool of the championship is due to the fact that by solving real practical tasks, participants are involved in the consideration of specific problems and tasks of the fuel and energy complex and the MSC, develop interesting promising proposals for solving urgent problems of the development of the energy and industrial sectors.
