The future power engineers of the Don State Technical University have identified the strongest

Three student teams of the Don State Technical University became the winners of the qualifying stage of the Student League of the XII International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", held at the Boiling Point of the university. The participants presented engineering cases in the field of electric power industry to the jury.

The VAKH team, which took the first place, will go to the next stage of the championship. The Energy X team took the second place, and the Process team rounded out the top three. All the winners of the qualifying stage of the engineering championship are students of the Department of Digital Technologies and Platforms in the Electric Power Industry at DSTU.

In total, 9 student teams defended their projects, which were given 10 days to develop, as part of the qualifying stage in the field of Electric Power Engineering. The jury consisted of experts from leading industry companies and teachers of DSTU.

As a task, future power engineers were asked to analyze the causes and factors leading to disruption of technological processes in electric networks, under-discharge and loss of electricity. The teams proposed technical and organizational measures to improve network reliability and reduce accidents, as well as a company development strategy to expand the range of services provided. The VAKH team, the winner of the qualifying stage, proposed using neural networks in the IR diagnostics of electrical equipment.

"We have been working for a very long time to become a part of this great cause. Today, DSTU students have the opportunity to present their projects to leading specialists of industry companies and receive feedback from them., – Maria Pudovinnikova, the organizer of the championship at the DSTU site, an engineer at the Department of Digital Technologies and Platforms in the Electric Power Industry at DSTU, shared this information. – Currently, DSTU trains highly qualified specialists, including scientific and engineering specialists, who are always in demand in various industries. I am sure that the non-standard solutions proposed by the students will form the basis of strategic programs and projects of leading Russian energy companies."

Champions and prize-winners of the Student League will be able to enroll in the University on preferential terms. Master's and postgraduate studies at 24 universities, complete an internship and internship or get a job in partner companies, take part in industry youth educational forums, as well as travel around Russia as part of the program "More than a journey".
