Saratov students determined the semi-finalists of the CASE-IN championship

 The qualifying stage of the Student League of the XI International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" was held at the site of the Saratov State Technical University named after Yuri Gagarin. The championship is included in the platform of ANO "Russia - the land of opportunities".

It should be noted that since 2018, SSTU has been the official partner of its holding. The Championship is an effective platform for career guidance of young people, creation of social lifts, generation of fresh ideas aimed at the development of fuel and energy, mineral resources complexes, nuclear industry and related industries.

This year, the geography of the Student League participants has expanded. In addition to students from the Polytechnic Institute of Energy and the Syzran branch of Samara State Technical University, teams from Penza State University joined the championship. A total of 21 teams worked on solutions to complex engineering cases in 9 industry areas.

The honorary guests of the opening ceremony were representatives of companies working in the field of electric power and heat supply, industrial partners of the Polytechnic University.

"The International Engineering Championship is a unique project. Russia has always been famous for the high level of higher engineering schools and talented developers. The eleventh season of "CASE-IN" takes place under the theme "Technological Leadership" and this is no coincidence. Today, the priority is to strengthen the technological sovereignty of Russia, the country's military–industrial complex, and the training of new-generation engineering personnel. Currently, SSTU trains highly qualified specialists, including scientific and engineering specialists, who are always in demand in various industries. I am sure that the participants of the championship will offer new non-standard approaches and interesting solutions that will form the basis of strategic programs and projects of leading Russian energy companies.", – shared the opinion of the acting rector of SSTU, Professor Sergey Naumov.

The founder and Co-Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship addressed the participants via video link Artem Korolev. In his speech, he stressed that the students would be rewarded with internships and employment in partner companies of the championship, admission to postgraduate and master's degrees at partner universities on preferential terms.

After the opening ceremony, the participants had to defend their projects. The work was evaluated by an expert commission, which included managers, specialists from industry companies, as well as leading teachers from the Institute of Energy at SSTU. 

The "CASE-IN" championship ended with the summing up and awarding of the winners and prize-winners of the qualifying stage of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" in the field of "Electric power Industry". The first three places were awarded to the Polytechnic team.
