Perm Polytechnic University students are the bronze medalists of the CASE-IN championship

On May 25-27, the final of the X season of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" took place in Moscow. The Zollverein team from Perm Polytechnic University became the bronze medalist in the field of Mining Machinery and Equipment. The team included Nikita Bruev, Ilya Kozunin, Artem Lyubimov and Ekaterina Takaseeva, students of the Mining and Petroleum Faculty.

Over the course of three days, 600 students of specialized universities and young specialists from leading companies from 42 regions of Russia, as well as Belarus and Kazakhstan, demonstrated their innovative developments to the industry community at the University of Science and Technology MISIS. A total of 6,753 future and young engineers participated in the project development during the season.

"This is not the first time we have participated in the CASE-IN championship. That year, our team reached the finals of the Autumn Cup of the championship and performed well in Moscow, but did not take the prize. This year, our team has done a lot of work on mistakes, especially on their performance. This time, the defense was as structured as possible, and this allowed us to take the prize.", — Nikita Bruev, the captain of the Zollverein team, a 4th-year student of the Mining and Petroleum Faculty, emphasizes.

"Mining machinery and equipment" is a new direction of the "CASE—IN" championship, in which participants were asked to ensure the uninterrupted operation of technological stationary equipment of the processing plant. 

According to the instructions of the diamond mining company ALROSA, the participants had to analyze and collect information on the existing experience in monitoring the condition of stationary equipment, and propose options for implementing a mobile monitoring system for the condition of equipment.

A business program was also held as part of the championship final. Educational events, workshops to improve personal effectiveness, and meetings with leading employers in the industry were organized for the participants.

"The organization of the event turned out to be at a high level. Starting from the interactive zones, where you could get a lot of prizes and gifts from the general partners of the "CASE-IN", ending with the very protection of engineering cases. A pleasant bonus was my victory in the drawing of the electric samovar", — Nikita adds.

The winners and prize–winners of the competition will be rewarded with internships and employment in partner companies of the championship, as well as admission to postgraduate and master's degrees at partner universities on preferential terms.
