"The International Engineering Championship is taking place for the fifth year," Alyona Gins, the press secretary of the organizing committee of the event, shared with VM. "This is the only federal case championship through which practical knowledge is transferred to future engineering specialists.
For example, students were given a task: the Bystrinsky Mining and processing plant was built in the Khabarovsk Territory, but it has not yet been connected to a unified energy supply system. Students will have to design an energy system for the plant based on materials from industry companies and present their project to the jury within six minutes.
The championship is held in 47 universities in 35 regions of Russia and the CIS countries. More than three thousand students are competing to reach the finals in five areas: electric power engineering, mining, geological exploration, metallurgy, and oil and gas. Only the best of the best will get to the capital at the end of May to compete for a prize.
- Over the five years of its implementation, the championship has become an authoritative industry platform bringing together all parties interested in developing Russia's engineering and technical potential.: The government, companies, higher education institutions, sectoral public initiatives, and advanced youth," said Energy Minister Alexander Novak.
