Vladivostok students took gold in the final of the CASE-IN championship

Students of the Polytechnic Institute of the Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) have won the final of the IX International Engineering CASE-IN Championship in the field of Geological Exploration.

82 students from 21 FEFU teams tried their hand at the qualifying stages of the "CASE-IN", six of them reached the finals at once. The participants solved engineering cases in one of eight areas: geological exploration, mining, metallurgy, oil and gas, petrochemistry, digital atom, electric power, and design engineering.

In the Exploration case, the Kilo-Trilobite team (Nikita Anisimov, Nikita Kaznacheev, Konstantin Kosukhin, Ivan Simonin) had to carry out evaluation work at the site with uranium-thorium-niobium-rare earth mineralization. The students presented the cost structure required for these works, built a logistics route for the delivery of personnel, fuel and equipment, and also presented a geographical and economic description of the area.

Nikita Anisimov, the captain of the team, notes that the championship helped them to competently build teamwork and improve their skills in an economic approach to geology.

Following the results of the championship, Polytechnic students had the opportunity to complete an internship at Alrosa and the advantages of admission to graduate and postgraduate studies at partner universities of the championship, including taking budgetary places in the master's degree program at the FEFU Polytechnic Institute.

International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" ― a system of competitions for solving engineering cases among students, schoolchildren and young professionals. Participation in the event allows you to gain unique knowledge about the work of industry companies and demonstrate skills and competencies. University partners, in turn, can select young and promising personnel among students for further work at their enterprises. The championship is being implemented on the federal platform "Russia — the land of opportunities". The organizers are Reliable Change Foundation, Non-profit Partnership "Youth Forum of Mining Leaders" and "Astrology".

This year, the Far Eastern Federal University hosted the qualifying round of the CASE-IN championship for the ninth time. FEFU 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.
