Future mining industry specialists of the Sverdlovsk region are winners of the CASE-IN championship

A team of students from the UMMC Non-governmental Technical University took first place in the finals of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship held in Moscow.

The Mining of Useful Knowledge team, which included fifth-year students of the university, performed in the field of Mining and won, beating the other nine applicants who qualified for the finals of the championship.

In 2023, the team of the UMMC Technical University was one step away from winning prizes, and now the students have risen to the highest step of the podium.

CASE-IN is an international competition system for solving engineering problems. The goal of the championship is to popularize engineering education in Russia. In 2019, the championship entered the TOP 15 Olympiads in the world according to the rating agency RAEX (RAEX Analytics).

Members of the Mining Student League, who are part of teams of three or four people, solve engineering problems based on real production problems reported by industry enterprises. The decisions of the contestants are evaluated by a commission, among whose experts are officials, representatives of businesses, educational institutions and scientific organizations.

More than ten thousand students from 65 specialized educational institutions of the Russian Federation and CIS countries participated in the competition.

The team of the UMMC Mining of Useful Knowledge Technical University has proposed innovative mechanisms to reduce costs and improve the processes of strengthening mining operations at an underground mine.

The contestants proposed: switching to the use of emulsion explosives and the construction of an underground storage facility for non-explosive components; improving the fastening of mining workings by improving the composition of dry concrete mixtures and launching a concrete plant; switching from local ventilation fans to jet fans for mining workings under construction.

The team of the UMMC Technical University included fifth-year students Daniil Korablev, Ilgar Huseynov, Natalia Geveiler and Ildar Usmanov.

Vyacheslav Lapin, Director of the UMMC Technical University, noted that the success of students at international competitions showed their level of training and commitment to innovation. "We have the right to be proud of their achievements and are confident in their future!" he said.

TU UMMC is the first private engineering university in the Russian Federation that trains specialists for mining and metallurgical enterprises. The employment rate of university graduates in the field of study is 98.6%. Starting this academic year, in addition to targeted admission, the university opens up the possibility of admission to full-time budget places.

This year, the university accepts applicants in the following fields: Mining; Electrical engineering, machinery and equipment of mining enterprises; Metallurgy; Electric power and electrical engineering; Automation of technological processes and industries; Technological machinery and equipment; Computer Science and computer technology; Technology of logging and wood processing industries.
