A team of PetrSU students became the winner of the "CASE-IN" qualifying stage

 A team of PetrSU students won a prize in the qualifying stage of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".

The International Engineering CASE-IN Championship is a competition for solving engineering cases among students, schoolchildren and young professionals. During its existence, the championship has become an effective social elevator for young people and a forge of personnel for Russia's largest enterprises.

The EnergyStar team took the 3rd place in the qualifying stage. The team members were 3rd year students studying in the field of Electrical Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering at the Institute of Physics and Technology: Arseny Vishnevsky, Vadim Matveev, Ivan Milokhin, Alexander Zimerman.

As part of the qualifying stage, teams from St. Petersburg Mining and Petrozavodsk State Universities had to solve and submit for defense a case on a specialized network organization of PJSC ROSSETI Moscow Region.

At the same time, the participants had to analyze statistics and accident rates, identify factors affecting accident rates and, based on these data, propose measures to reduce the accident rate of electrical networks.

The teams had 10 days to prepare the final draft. The face-to-face defense before the expert commission demonstrated not only the high technical readiness of the students, but also the availability of project thinking, managerial and economic knowledge, and the ability to work in a team. All this was noted by the members of the expert commission, which included representatives of the faculty of St. Petersburg State University and energy companies.

"This is not the first year I have been acting as the captain of the EnergyStar team, and we always achieve excellent results! Participation in the International CASE-IN Engineering Championship opens up great horizons for the development of students' worldview in the field of electric power engineering, it is a place for interesting new meetings, allowing them to exchange experiences and learn something new.", – Arseny Vishnevsky, a student of the Institute of Physics and Technology, shared his impressions, wishing future participants of such events. – No matter what course you are in, I wish you to develop, participate in various activities, and then you will definitely achieve success! After all, as they say, the secret to success is to get started; if you don't knock, you won't be opened. If you don't try, you can't do it."
