Two teams of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University became winners of the "CASE-IN" championship

From May 30 to June 1, the final of the XI International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", part of the presidential platform "Russia — the land of Opportunities", was held. 660 schoolchildren, students and young professionals presented ideas for achieving technological leadership in various fields of Russian industry. SPbPU was represented by two teams of the Civil Engineering Institute, which became the winners.

The theme of the XI season of the CASE-IN championship is "Technological Leadership". At the finals, the contestants solved engineering cases and performed engineering and technical tasks related to artificial intelligence, computing and data transmission, robotics, and industrial technologies.

Three years ago, at the initiative of JSC NIPIGAZ, the Project Engineering direction was launched in the Student League. Every year, more than 700 students show interest in the cases and offer their ideas to the company. This year, the company invited students to think about solutions that eliminate technical and economic barriers in design and construction activities and ensure the efficient design of facilities. The guys developed a comprehensive solution for the design, construction and operation of an LNG plant in the territory of the Gulf of Ob.

The first place was taken by the SPbPU PoliEngTeam team. These are HSE students Daria Shabunina (captain), Ekaterina Belova, Vadim Kudryavtsev and Ruslan Shaidullin. The team's mentor is Marina Gravit.

"We used the optimal technology of natural gas liquefaction in the Arctic climate (the Arctic Cascade technology), applied unmanned technologies in logistics and automated analytical control systems for sampling. We have minimized potential difficulties in the design, construction and operation of the plant and reduced costs. We won thanks to well-coordinated work and unconventional thinking.", — shared by Daria Shabunina.

The partner of the Special League "Architecture, Design and Construction" was the Metropolis company. The experts presented a case requiring solutions in various areas of design, including architecture, structural and engineering solutions. The participants developed a comprehensive concept for a four-star hotel in Kaliningrad with at least 200 rooms and a total area of no more than 12,000 square meters.

More than 400 students competed for the victory. In each team, the guys selected the chief project engineer (GIP) and assigned the roles of architect, designer, engineering specialists and BIM coordinator.

The first place was taken by the BROIZ SPbPU team, which included students of the All-Russian Academy of Sciences and the All-Russian Academy of Sciences Ekaterina Zorina (captain), Artem Gazha, Valeria Kozodaeva, Lyudmila Morshchakova, Ulyana Popova, Yulia Rodnenko, Olga Chernaya. The coach of the team is Stanislav Dyakov.

The authors of the best solutions were awarded by representatives of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, ANO Russia — the Land of Opportunities, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs and industry partner companies of the project.

The champions and prize-winners received cash prizes, as well as privileges for admission to graduate and postgraduate studies at universities, internships and internships in partner companies with the possibility of further employment.
