The team of future power engineers "2x2=5" of NSTU NETI won the qualifying stage of the Student League XII The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" with the support of the presidential platform "Russia is a land of opportunity". In the next stages, NSTU NETI students will meet with teams from other universities in Russia and the CIS countries.

The participants of the Student League solve engineering cases developed by partner companies and related to lean and efficient production, increasing efficiency, increasing labor productivity, eliminating losses, and implementing optimal solutions. 9 teams met at the qualifying stage.

"The International Engineering Championship is a unique event where students can immerse themselves in solving urgent problems of the fuel and energy complex and discuss their ideas with leading experts from partner companies," Anastasia Rusina, Dean of FENG NSTU NTI, said in her greeting to the participants. — I am sure that such intensive team work makes a significant contribution to the educational process, develops both professional and supra-professional competencies, gives students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the problems of the industry and find their place in the future profession."
