NEFU has identified the best case solutions from industrial companies

The qualifying stage of the XII International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" was held at the Northeastern Federal University. The event is an international competition system for solving engineering cases among schoolchildren, students and young specialists in the fields of fuel and energy and mineral resources complexes.

"As I have said more than once, participation in the CASE-IN is a great opportunity to solve engineering problems, without which it is difficult to imagine real production. It is gratifying that NEFU students have been actively participating in the championship from the very beginning, getting acquainted with the activities of the leading industrial companies of the republic and the country. As organizers and participants, we are glad that every year the championship contributes to the growth of the quality of engineering education, helps to discover more and more talents. This inspires confidence in the future of Russia's fuel and energy and mineral resources industries," said NEFU Rector Anatoly Nikolaev.

This year, Northeastern Federal University was represented by 32 teams in four areas: "Mining", "Electric power industry", "Geological exploration" and "Oil and gas business". The participants developed solutions for engineering cases in one of nine industry areas and presented them to an expert commission consisting of representatives of ALROSA, YATEK, ROSSETI, Taas-Yuryakh Neftegazodobycha, the Yakut branch of Polymetal Management Company, Yanzoloto, Almazy Anabara and the Institute of Diamond Geology. and precious metals from the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. 

The winner of the qualifying stage in the Exploration field was the Cubick team, which presented its solution to the case from ALROSA. "The CASE-IN Engineering Championship is an excellent growth driver for students and develops comprehensive skills. Here, participants are required not only to have theoretical knowledge, but also the ability to work in a team, as well as the correct allocation of time. By solving cases from leading companies, students enrich their knowledge and prepare for their future profession in order to be ready to work in production," said Arkady Yakovlev, a 5th–year student at the NEFU Department of Subsoil Management.

All the winning teams of the qualifying stage received tickets to the next stage, where they will demonstrate their skills in competition with youth engineering teams from other universities. The Student League competitions will end with the final in Moscow at the end of May.
