Students of the Chelyabinsk region took part in the qualifying stage of the CASE-IN championship

Students of South Ural State University, Kurgan State University and Tyumen Industrial University took part in the qualifying stage. IX International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", which is included in the presidential platform "Russia is a land of opportunity».

International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" − an international competition system for solving engineering cases among students, schoolchildren and young professionals. The purpose of the championship is to popularize engineering and technical education and attract the most promising young specialists to the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes.

The organizers of the Championship are the Reliable Change Foundation, the Non-profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders and AstraLogica LLC.

The co-organizer of the Electric Power Industry direction of the CASE-IN Student League is the Association "Russian National Committee of the International Council for Large High Voltage Electrical Systems".

The championship is supported by the leading companies of the Fuel and energy Complex and MSK of Russia: JSC SO UES, JSC ALROSA, Rosatom State Corporation, PJSC RusHydro, PJSC FGC UES, PJSC SIBUR Holding, PJSC Tatneft, JSC NIPIGAZ, LLC Siberian Generating Company, LLC IBM Montan, Siberian Anthracite JSC, Mycromine Rus LLC, Raspadskaya Coal Company LLC, Prosoft Systems LLC, Yakutsk Fuel and Energy Company PJSC, EvrazHolding LLC.

The championship is held on the basis of universities in Russia and the CIS countries. During the qualifying stages in February – May 2021, more than 10,000 future and young engineers of fuel and energy and mineral resources complexes solve engineering cases on the unified theme of the Championship "Sustainable Development".

Student teams presented their solutions in the areas of Metallurgy, Electric Power Industry and Digital Atom. Industry experts evaluated the students' ideas and selected the best teams.

The students worked out their ideas in just 10 days.

Metallurgists presented an analysis of the effect of alloying components on the electrical conductivity of aluminum and its strength characteristics for use in electrically conductive tires of vehicles instead of copper conductors.

The first place was taken by the AMARKOVA team: Anton Gavrilyak (team captain), Alexander Punda and Dmitry Turyansky – students of the training area Materials Science and Technology of Materials SUSU.

"Participation in the competition brought a lot of positive experience, we saw the practical aspects of applying materials science and tried to create new alloys ourselves," team captain Anton Gavrilyak shares his impressions.

Silver awards were given to "PLUS and MINUS": Mikhail Mingazhev (team captain), Nikita Abramov, Ksenia Bogatyreva and Danil Polunin – students of the training area Materials Science and Technology of Materials SUSU.

The BLACK METAL team: received the bronze awards of the qualifying stage. Team members: Ilya Morozov (team captain), Evgeny Artemyev, Alexey Rokhmistrov and Pavel Sushchenko – students of the training area Technological machines and equipment (engineering of technological equipment) SUSU.

Based on the information provided in the case study, as well as on links and additional information, taking into account general and local limitations, the power engineering students had to develop AES for their regional power system, propose models of the technological and economic functioning of one AES as part of the regional power system (as part of the UES of Russia).

The first place was taken by the INTERENGINEER team: Elizaveta Gallyamova (team captain), Alexander Sokolov, Vladimir Ustimenko and Danil Khalimov – students of the training area Electric power and electrical engineering SUSU.

In second place is the "BREAKDOWN OF ISOLATION" team: Konstantin Stupak (team captain), Valery Kulpin, Daniil Loginov and Semyon Charkin – students of the training area Electric power and electrical engineering SUSU.

The bronze medal went to the ENERGOTECH team: Alexey Somov (team captain), Anatoly Kulakov, Nikita Telozhinsky and Tatiana Chertova – students of the training area Electric power and electrical engineering SUSU.

Digital Atom students have created a prototype of a digital system for remotely immersing new employees in the work, communication and cultural environment of the ROSATOM State Corporation

The first place was taken by the PRIMO VICTORIA team: Dmitry Shkarin (team captain), Ilnar Basharov, Denis Gulak and Zakhar Leontiev is a student of Tyumen Industrial University.

"Participation in the championship helped us take our mind off routine studies, brought our team together, and we realized how interesting it is to solve real business problems, acute social problems, and determine the future vector of development for ourselves," team captain Dmitry Shkarin shares his impressions.

The second place was taken by the "MASTERS OF CROSSES" team: Artem Baev (team captain), Danil Kormilin, Daria Kulikova and Ilya Stepanov – students of the training area SUSU Applied Mathematics and Computer Science.

The third place was taken by the team "Team A": Ivan Rusakov (captain of the team), Roman Visimskikh, Evgeny Semenov and Alexey Shupletsov is a student at Kurgan State University.

The participants who took 1st and 2nd place are invited to the semi-finals of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", which will be held in a remote format.

The final will traditionally be held in Moscow and will bring together the best student engineering teams from universities in Russia and the CIS countries. The format of the championship (full-time or remote) will depend on the epidemiological situation in Russia.

The winners of the championship finals will receive valuable prizes, the opportunity to participate in All-Russian industry summer forums, and advantages for admission to graduate and postgraduate studies. 20 partner universities of the championship They will also be able to complete internships at leading companies in the industry.
