100 students of Samara Polytechnic University competed in the "CASE-IN" qualifying stage

Samara Polytechnic University hosted the qualifying stage of the XII International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". More than 100 students of the university and its branches competed to reach the next stage of the competition. The participants solved engineering problems in three areas: "Electric power industry", "Thermal power engineering" and "Oil and gas business". This year, the main theme of the championship was "Lean Manufacturing".

Each case represented a real production task formulated based on the materials of the CASE-IN partner companies. For example, YATEK offered future specialists in the oil and gas industry to justify the choice of one of the development strategies for the proposed field based on a comparative analysis. The participants of the Electric Power Industry direction analyzed the digital technologies used by JSC System Operator of the Unified Energy System and proposed innovative technological solutions for managing the energy system. And future thermal power engineers, on behalf of Gazprom Energoholding LLC, proposed ways to provide consumers with thermal energy by switching thermal loads from boilers to CHP plants.

The winners of the competition were determined by an expert commission, which included specialists from leading industry companies and teachers of the Polytechnic University. As a result, the Energy style team consisting of students from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering became the leader in the field of "Electric Power Industry". Alexandra and Mikhail Salchikhin, Denis Tuev and Dmitry Ivakhnov. Among the thermal power engineers, the Green goats team turned out to be the strongest, its participants are representatives of the thermal power engineering faculty. Anastasia Bychkova, Danila Popov, Ivan Kozhin and Miroslav Ivashchenko. And the first place in the field of "Oil and Gas business" was traditionally taken by the Power of Thought team, a multiple winner of the CASE–IN championship. This year, it includes students from the Institute of Oil and Gas Technologies. Gore Shushanyan, Vyacheslav Samoilov and Julia Belousova, and also Galina Shkatko from St. Petersburg State University.

Now these three teams will represent Samara Polytechnic University in the next stage of the "CASE-IN".

"Polytech has been a venue for the qualifying stages of the championship for 10 years," says the Vice–rector for Integration Projects Anton Eremin. – Our students solve real production tasks identified by leading employers. Over the years, the guys have developed many industry-relevant solutions and proved that they can think outside the box."

The CASE-IN project is being implemented within the framework of the federal project "Social Elevators for Everyone" of the national project "Education".
