SSTU summed up the results of the qualifying stage of the engineering championship "CASE-IN"

The qualifying stage of the Main season of the Student League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" was held at the site of the Saratov State Technical University named after Yuri Gagarin.

The participants were 24 teams from universities in Saratov, Engels, Balakovo, Kamyshin and Syzran. They worked on solutions to complex engineering cases in two industry areas. The honored guests of the opening ceremony were the strategic partners of CASE-IN, representatives of companies working in the field of electric power and heat supply and industrial partners of the Polytechnic University.

This is the sixth time this landmark event has been held at the site of the technical university, and the innovation of this year was the opening of a new direction at the championship — "Thermal Power Engineering". Participation in the championship allows participants not only to receive advice from mentors, but also to demonstrate teamwork and the professional competencies that they have developed during their studies.

After the opening ceremony, the participants had to defend their projects, which had been worked on by the participants for 10 days. The work was evaluated by an expert commission, which included managers, specialists from industry companies, as well as leading teachers from the Institute of Energy at SSTU.

The CASE-IN championship ended with the summing up and awarding of the winners and prize-winners of the qualifying stage of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship. In the field of "Electric Power Industry", the first three places were awarded to the Polytechnic teams. The winner of the first place was "Team Energy", the second place was taken by the "Implementation Official" team, the third place was taken by the "Electric Force" team.

The master's student of INEN SSTU shared his impressions of participating in the championship. Rasim Bogdalov: "Events such as the CASE-IN championship allow us to get out of our comfort zone and move on to solving large-scale issues, such as the use of artificial intelligence technology, which had not been considered in the field of education up to this point. In general, it allows you to delve into the topic quite a lot and go further than is considered in bachelor's and master's degree programs. In general, the experience of participating in events of this level allows teams not only to improve their communication skills, but also to find a solution to a problem by looking at it with a fresh look."

The students of SSTU also won the podium in the field of Thermal Power Engineering. The Atom team won the first place, the Atomic Cats team took the second place, and the NON-STOP team took the third place.

All participants received memorable gifts. Now the teams "Team Energy" and "Atom" will compete in the semi-finals of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".

It should be noted that since 2018, SSTU has been an official partner of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". The Championship is an effective platform for career guidance of young people, creation of social lifts, generation of fresh ideas aimed at the development of fuel and energy, mineral resources complexes, nuclear industry and related industries.
