The qualifying stage of the CASE-IN championship in Samara brought together 150 talented students

The results of the qualifying stage of the International Engineering Championship have become known CASE-IN, held at the Polytechnic University. The students of the flagship university beat their rivals in three competitive areas and received invitations to the semifinals.

About 150 students from different cities competed to reach the next stage of the competition at the Polytechnic University. The participants solved engineering problems in four areas: oil and gas, electric power, metallurgy and project engineering.

As a result, according to the decision of the expert commission, five teams from Polytech were selected to participate in the semi-finals. Two teams will compete in traditional university competitions in the oil and gas industry and the electric power industry.

Thus, representatives of the Institute of Oil and Gas Technologies became the leaders among oil workers. Dmitry Pekhterev, Anton Kartoshkin, Egor Epishkin and Gore Shushanyan (The Right Decision team), and the second place was taken by Mikhail Kondratiev, Vyacheslav Samoilov, Stanislav Siliznev and Evgeny Stepanov (Neftegaziki team).

The CaseOut team, which included students of the Electrical Engineering Faculty, turned out to be the strongest among the electric power industry Alexandra Balaban, Alyona Kozhukhova, Alexey Strochkov and Evgeny Folomeev. The second place went to the Relay team – Ekaterina Komasova, Alla Manyakova and To Alina Tolkanova.

Finally, the fifth group of students was recognized as the best in the metallurgy competitions, which were held for the first time on the basis of the Polytechnic. The Cluster team consists of Konstantin Denisov, Varvara Zaitseva, Maria Lukyanova and Ilya Panov, representing the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgy and Transport. They presented to the expert commission their solution to the case study of aluminum alloys for use in electrically conductive tires of vehicles instead of copper conductors.

"The championship allowed me to work with guys whom I would hardly have met in the course of my studies, because I am learning metal science and heat treatment of metals, and Varya, Kostya and Ilya are studying foundry production., " She told me Maria Lukyanova. – When we joined the team, I couldn't even imagine that we had such a serious and exciting job ahead of us. The tasks turned out to be not as simple as it seemed at first glance, and it's even scary to imagine what awaits in the semi-finals! But it's incredibly interesting to gain new experience and find the right solutions to such complex tasks."

According to Varvara Zaitseva, the CASE-IN championship is very different from all other competitions in which she had to take part.

"It was most difficult to work on a tight schedule, but at that time our productivity was at its maximum., – the student noted. – For me, as probably for all the guys, it was a serious test of strength, a test of professional knowledge and skills."

The semi-final competitions in the directions will start on April 13.
