Three Amur State University teams reached the semifinals of the CASE-IN championship

Three teams of Amur State University became semi-finalists The International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, one of the projects of the presidential platforms "Russia — the land of opportunities". The students have surprised the industry community with their unique ideas and will now continue to compete for the main prizes of the season.

The XI season of the Student League Championship is dedicated to the single theme "Technological Leadership". There are more than 115 qualifying stages in Russia on the basis of CASE–IN partner universities.

The selection at Amur State University took place on March 3. The students performed in three industry areas of the championship: Petrochemistry, Electric Power Industry and Geological Exploration. 118 young people tried to solve cases from partner companies of the event.

At the opening of the championship, participants were greeted by Andrey Plutenko, Rector of AmSU, Marina Bondarenko, Deputy Minister of Natural Resources of the Amur Region, and Alexander Bessonov, Manager of SIBUR.

On March 3, the students presented their final solutions to real production problems. The young people worked on them for 10 days.

The participants of the Geological Exploration direction had to analyze the features of the Daldyn and Alakit-Markha kimberlite fields and identify their promising areas. In the process of solving the case, the young people used materials from remote sensing of the earth and created three-dimensional geological and genetic models of the search object.

The electric power industry worked with a case study from the System Operator of the Unified Energy System. The students selected promising regions for the development of hydropower resources and suggested which hydropower facilities could be built in them.

Students participating in the Petrochemistry course received a case from SIBUR dedicated to Kazanorgsintez PJSC, the only polycarbonate manufacturer in Russia. Polycarbonate is produced by the phosgene-free method at the enterprise. The participants were asked to propose a comprehensive solution to eliminate the facts of preparing the initial mixture without adding the necessary catalyst, eliminate technical and economic barriers to production activities and increase the efficiency of polycarbonate production.

The decisions of future specialists were evaluated by university teachers, as well as representatives of partner companies of AmSU – SIBUR and the Branch of JSC SO UES Regional Dispatching Department of the Amur Region Energy System.
