SUSU students took part in the qualifying stage of the CASE-IN championship

The qualifying stage of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" was held at South Ural State University. The winners advance to the semi-finals of the project.

This competition system is based on solving engineering cases among schoolchildren, students and young specialists in the fields of fuel and energy and mineral resources complexes.

"This is a traditional event for our university, where engineering tasks are formed for student teams. The teams must solve the current case in a short period of time. This year, their solution should be useful for power engineers. Participants can be creative and find approaches that adult scientists could not find," explains Anton Korzhov, First Vice-rector for Scientific Work.

There was also a briefing for the participants from the event's specialists, where they were told about the specifics of the task. This event is very important for young professionals and students, as it allows them to apply the theoretical knowledge gained in the learning process in practice, within the framework of a specific large-scale task.

"We have been preparing our decision for almost a week. It's very exciting. Our team proposes to install four hydroelectric power plants on the country's rivers. The problem of the electric power industry is very urgent. The area that we took as a basis has problems with electricity, there is not even Internet everywhere," says the participant. Anastasia Vasilyeva.

The Championship is being implemented in accordance with the Action Plan aimed at popularizing the working and engineering professions, approved in 2015.
