Students of the Novosibirsk region have made a leap forward with the "CASE-IN"

The XI season of the International Engineering Case Championship "CASE-IN", an international competition system for solving engineering cases for schoolchildren, students and young professionals, which opened new talents to the industry community, has ended in Moscow. The participant of the competition was a team from the Novosibirsk region "Monolith", which became a finalist in the Autumn Cup of the championship.

The purpose of the CASE-IN championship is to popularize engineering and technical education and train specialists for companies in the nuclear industry, fuel and energy complex, MSC and related industries. Schoolchildren, students and young specialists are assigned by industry companies to solve engineering cases based on real-world production situations, gain important professional knowledge and opportunities for personal and career development. 

The youngest participants, high school students, compete for additional points for the Unified State Exam when applying to specialized universities and traveling to educational shifts. The authors of the best ideas in student areas will receive benefits when applying to master's and postgraduate studies at partner universities of the championship, as well as paid internships in companies with the possibility of employment. The winners and prize-winners of the League of Young Professionals receive opportunities for career growth and the implementation of their project in production.

Artem Korolev, the founder and co-chairman of the organizing committee of the championship, is confident that "CASE–IN" today is Russia's largest competition system for solving engineering cases. "We have managed to achieve significant results in 13 years. Every third participating student enters the university today with the help of our certificate. Every fourth of our students finds a job, and every second young specialist gets a promotion thanks to the "CASE-IN". Tens of thousands of young people who participated in the championship over the years represent the largest professional community and are marked with a quality mark.", − he noted. 

In 2023, the organizing committee of the championship, on the initiative of the Federal State Budgetary Institution Rosstroycontrol, launched a new direction, Construction. Student teams from 38 universities developed investment and construction projects for a tourist infrastructure facility with the possibility of scaling to the regions of Russia in the planning horizon until 2030. 

"CASE-IN" builds character, says Lev Kerman, captain of the Monolith Autumn Cup finalist team. "The championship turned out to be a severe test for our skills, a kind of shake-up of our hard skills. Everything we've learned and done over the last five years had to be packed into a 5-minute presentation and cooked for two weeks. We had to learn skills on the go that none of us had, such as architectural presentation and layout of vector infographics.", − a student of Novosibirsk State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering shared his impressions.
