10 student teams of Primorsky Krai are preparing for the "CASE-IN" semi-finals

Student League Qualifying Stage The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" The course in the fields of Geological Exploration, Mining, Oil and Gas, Petrochemistry and Electric Power engineering was held at the Far Eastern Federal University. Ten FEFU teams will defend the honor of Primorsky Krai in the semi-finals, which will be held remotely in April.

82 FEFU Polytechnic Institute and FEFU School of Natural Sciences students from 21 FEFU teams competed for tickets to the semifinals. All the cases for the qualifying stage were developed based on the actual production tasks of the university's partners: ALROSA, Tatneft, SIBUR Holding, NIPIGAZ, and System Operator of the Unified Energy System. The central theme this year was "Sustainable development".

The teams became semi-finalists.

The exploration direction includes Nuggets (Victoria Bakhtina, Miron Kiselyov, Maxim Nikolaichuk, Gavril Prokopyev) and Kilo-trilobite (Nikita Anisimov, Nikita Kaznacheev, Konstantin Kosukhin, Ivan Simonin).;

"Mining" ― "Miners" (Danil Bogdanov, Anton Zhdanov, Ilya Gerasimenko, Viktor Kuznetsov) and "Plunderers of the subsoil" (Vitaly Batarshin, Andrey Gulevatenko, Vladislav Krylov, Kirill Shcheglov).

Oil and Gas Business ― GoosePetroleum (Ivan Karnaukhov, Vladislav Litovchenko, Gleb Maksutov, Dmitry Terekhov) and No Mercy (Elizaveta Bukreeva, Ivan Gorlov, Denis Kirilenko, Igor Shugailo).

Neftekhimiya ― Fuel Inside (Konstantin Grechko, Viktor Guzhva, Mark Yachny, Egor Cenotrusov) and ZHZL (Gleb Zaitsev, Vasily Zhmankov, Vadim Liu).

Electric Power Industry ― Resonance (Veronika Arshinskaya, Nikita Vybory, Alexander Chernov) and EnergoTrio (Dmitry Adamenko, Semyon Rusakov, Illarion Khan).

"The CASE-IN Championship helped students immerse themselves in the intricacies of the profession, solve real production tasks and gain important competitive advantages. The expert commissions were attended by representatives of industry leaders who evaluated both the theoretical training and the practical results of the students. In the future, the best students will not only be able to complete internships at leading engineering companies, but also begin their career path there. The solutions proposed by FEFU students at past championships are already being implemented in production in leading oil and gas companies.", — said Alexander Wagner, Vice Rector and Director of the FEFU Polytechnic Institute.

The case format assumed openness and multiple solutions, and one of the key tasks of the participants was to justify their decision and defend it in front of a team of experts. At the end of the competition, both the participants and the audience actively asked the representatives of the companies about the proposed solutions. 

Following the results of the semi-finals, the best teams will go to the finals in Moscow. The winners will receive valuable prizes, the opportunity to attend All―Russian industry summer forums, advantages in applying to graduate and postgraduate studies at partner universities of the championship, as well as an invitation to practice in leading companies in the country.

For the ninth time, the Far Eastern Federal University is hosting the qualifying stage of the CASE-IN championship, which is part of the presidential platform "Russia is a land of opportunityFEFU student teams regularly receive the right to represent the university in the finals of the prestigious youth competition and eventually become its the winners. 

It should be noted that the training of engineering personnel for the development of the innovative economy of Russia is one of the priorities in the university's activities and the main mission of the FEFU Polytechnic Institute.
