The guys faced a difficult task — to defend their presentation of a solution to a socially, technically and economically important problem case from real practice in front of reputable experts. It is assumed that by dealing with cases, young engineers will be able to effectively find solutions to real production problems.
The Case-In is unique in that it is the only federal case championship in the field of fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes. According to the organizer, the director of the Reliable Change Foundation Artem Korolev The championship is being held for the fourth year. At first, 500 students from 11 universities took part in it in one league and under the auspices of one ministry, but this year the organizers expect more than 3,500 participants from 37 universities in 27 regions of Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia in five leagues, three of which were held at Tomsk Polytechnic University. These are the electric power industry, oil and gas business, and geological exploration. To date, 20 major industry companies, as well as five federal ministries, Rosmolodezh and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives to Promote New Projects have joined the championship.
"The winning students go from the regional stage to the minister's handshake, but the main thing is that they hone their public speaking skills, get into a professional environment, and establish contacts with future employers," said Artem Korolev. —
More than 80% of the finalists of the championship receive offers of internship, internship or employment in partner companies upon its completion, so this is a direct path to an industry company."
On behalf of potential employers, he spoke at the championship Vitaly Yarovoy, Head of the Production Control and Project Management Department of the Department of Business Development and Project Management for TPI, Regional Works and Hydrogeology of JSC Rosgeologiya:
Today, Rosgeologiya is the largest exploration company in Russia in terms of its geographical presence. And we, like any large company, need staff renewal, continuity, and experience transfer to young professionals.
We are very interested in cooperation with Tomsk Polytechnic University, which trains high-quality geologists and engineers, which is confirmed by the fact that we employ many graduates of this university."
25 teams, each consisting of 2-4 people, applied for participation in TPU. The students received their case studies ten days before the start, and today each team presented their idea to the experts within six minutes. Cases usually have more than one solution, but several, so it was difficult to judge the correctness or inaccuracy of the solution. The judges took the performances of the guys seriously, because the winners will have to defend the honor of the university on May 30-31 in Moscow.
As a result, the Carbon team became the winners in the exploration league, the guys from #PowerSystems took the first place among the electric power industry, and Artificial risk won in the oil and gas industry. In the final, polytechnics will compete for the title of the best engineering teams, the opportunity to complete internships in leading manufacturing companies, as well as for participation in the summer educational programs "Mining School" and "Energy of Youth".
