Industry 4.0: how the national project helps technology development and students

The tenth anniversary season of the International Engineering Championship has started in Russia thanks to the federal project "Social Elevators for Everyone" of the national project "Education"CASE-IN"the presidential platform "Russia is a country of opportunities." It is dedicated to the single theme "Industry 4.0": all tasks are related to the development of the latest technologies.

During the qualifying stages at universities, the participants of the Student League develop solutions to practical case studies from leading companies in the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes. At the same time, ambitious students were given only 10 days to analyze the material, search for ideas and make a presentation.

Belgorod State National Research University has joined the Mining field again this year. Welcoming the participants of the qualifying stage, Vice-Rector for Strategic Development Programs of Belgorod State University Andrey Peresypkin He stressed that the university pays special attention to the training of mining engineers, as the largest mining and processing plants are based in the region.:

"The CASE-IN championship provides us with important support in this matter. We have been conducting the qualifying stages of the championship since its inception. I would especially like to note that in 2015 our guys became winners in the field of Mining and received well-deserved awards from the hands of the Minister of Energy of Russia. BelSU student teams regularly achieve high results, and I hope this year will be no exception."

Director of the Institute of Earth Sciences of the National Research University "BelSU" Ignat Ignatenko He said that the mining sector is actively developing at the university and it is planned to open specialized training grounds that will contribute to the promising development of the industry.

CEO of Mycromine Rus LLC Boris Kurtsev He noted that the company traditionally supports the championship and inspires young people to develop interesting projects.:

"It is with special trepidation that we participate in the jubilee season of the championship, which should be remembered for vivid emotions and breakthrough solutions. I wish the participants to show all their skills, acquire new knowledge and convince themselves that mining engineering is a promising and interesting profession."

"The CASE-IN Championship, like all projects of the Russia — Land of Opportunity platform, serves as a social elevator for its participants. The championship has three key success indicators for this "elevator": schoolchildren enroll in specialized universities using additional USE scores, students enroll in master's and postgraduate studies, complete internships and come to work in the industry, young professionals are promoted within the company, and their solutions are implemented and used in practice.

According to statistics from the previous season, 90% of schoolchildren enrolled in universities, every third student received an invitation to practice or internship, 42% of young professionals were promoted, and every third case solution was implemented in the company. All this allows us to consider the championship effective and expect new success stories in the anniversary season.", — explained Deputy Director General of the presidential platform "Russia — the Land of Opportunities" Anton Serikov.

ALROSA, the partner of the championship, has set a task for Belgorod students: to reduce the cost of laying the depleted space of the Internatsionalny underground mine in Yakutia. The students' decisions were evaluated by experts from ALROSA, Stoilensky GOK, Lebedinsky GOK, and teachers from BelSU.

Two teams received tickets to the semi-finals of the federal district, which will be held at the end of May 2022 and will bring together the best of the best: "Wind Rose" and "No question". Student teams from all over the country will present their promising solutions to the industry community. The winners and prize-winners will be rewarded with preferential admission to master's and postgraduate studies at partner universities, internships at partner companies.
