Students of the Trans-Baikal Territory took part in the "CASE-IN" qualifying stage

On March 31, Zabaikalsky State University hosted the qualifying stage of the IX International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", which is part of the presidential platform "Russia – the Land of Opportunities". During the competition, 8 teams of students from the Faculty of Energy of ZabGU presented their technological case solutions.

This year, competitions are held in more than 60 universities in Russia and the CIS countries. During the qualifying stages, 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". This time, energy engineering students, including the teams of the ZabGU Faculty of Energy, presented their solutions in the field of "Electric Power Industry" to the experts.

Andrey Batukhtin, Dean of the Faculty of Energy, delivered a welcoming speech. He noted that the teams of Zabaikalsky State University are regular participants in the championship, which provides an excellent opportunity to take the first steps into the profession. ZabGU students actively use this chance and show high results, take prizes, confirming the high level of their knowledge. He wished the guys to continue the tradition of successful performances and victories in competitions.

After parting words from the jury, the energy students began to present their projects, which they had been developing for 10 days before the start of the qualifying stage. 8 teams presented case solutions dedicated to reducing energy consumption at specific enterprises located in the Trans-Baikal Territory.

Representatives of the Positron team were the first to defend the project. Using the example of an Armored Repair Plant, the guys developed a solution to improve the energy supply of this enterprise by installing a solar power plant on its territory.

According to Valery Rudoy, a representative of the team, a 4th-year student of the Energy Faculty of ZabGU, their development will not only help reduce energy costs, but will also contribute to the creation of favorable environmental conditions. It was interesting and difficult to work on solving the case at the same time.

"The difficulty of the task, in my opinion, lay more in the freedom of creativity, in the fact that specific data were not indicated. We chose the facility ourselves and fully developed the program for its implementation ourselves. This week we have tried to do our best and present a detailed solution, we hope the jury members will appreciate it.", - the contestant explained.

The student teams were given only 6 minutes to present the solutions to the cases according to the terms of the competition. They were evaluated by recognized industry experts, as well as representatives of the ZabGU faculty. The results of the presentation defense will be announced in a few days.

The two winning teams of the qualifying stage will meet in the semifinals, and the winners will face the final, which will be held in Moscow and will bring together the best student engineering teams from universities in Russia and the CIS countries.

The winners of the final will receive valuable prizes, as well as the opportunity to participate in All-Russian industry summer forums, advantages in admission to master's and postgraduate programs at 20 partner universities of the project, and will also be able to complete internships at leading companies in the industry.
