Unique solutions of students of the Russian University of Transport) will solve the problems of thermal power engineering

The Russian University of Transport hosted the qualifying stage of the Student League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".

12 student teams took part in the qualifying stage in the field of Thermal Power Engineering, which worked on the general case "Development of a solution for determining damaged elements of thermal and mechanical equipment." Future specialists had to propose modern methods to identify defective areas of thermal and mechanical equipment. To do this, the guys analyzed the source data and materials on the topic, shared their knowledge and experience with each other in order to get an idea of the latest developments in this field. After that, the students presented their unique developments in front of leading industry experts.

The event was attended by the first Vice-rector of RUT (MIIT) Vladimir Sergeyevich Timonin, First Deputy Director ITTSU Victor Alexandrovich Grechishnikov, Director Student Project Activity Center Roman Vyacheslavovich Tarusov.

During the defense, the participants' projects were evaluated by leading experts from PJSC MOEK and Gazprom Energoholding, as well as representatives of the faculty of the Russian Institute of Economics (MIIT). Following the results of the championship, experts identified three of the most interesting engineering solutions that will improve the operational efficiency of machinery, prevent equipment downtime and economic losses of production.

"Our goal is to provide the guys with the opportunity to work on solving real production tasks. The championship opens up great opportunities for students, it is not only a valuable experience, but also a unique opportunity for personal and professional development, as well as a successful start in a career and the acquisition of useful acquaintances. The task was not easy and required strong knowledge in the subject area," said Roman Tarusov, Director of the Center for Student Project Activities.

The winner was the Quartet team, which will continue to compete for the title of the best in the semi-finals of the CASE-IN championship. The captain of the team is Danila Belov, a graduate student of the Department of Thermal Power Engineering of Transport. It consisted of 4th year students: Alexander Rubashny, Daria Zubrova, Nikita Penyushkin.

The second place was taken by a team of 3rd year students specializing in Thermal Power Engineering of Transport: Kirill Volosatov, Evgeny Gostev, Daniil Lapshin, Artem Taubkin. In third place are fourth–year students Daria Vasilyeva, Daniil Gushchin, Anatoly Saferov, and Valery Kim.
