The team of the Nizhny Novgorod State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering "BIM-Spirit" took the third place at the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship. The bronze award was won by university students Ivan Suslov, Jan Klishkovsky, Ivan Fenichev, Alexander Larin and Ruslan Nabiev in the field of Architecture, Design, Construction and Housing and Communal Services.

The final of the XII season of the championship was held in Moscow at the end of May with the support of the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities". 700 schoolchildren, students and young professionals presented 162 innovative solutions for the implementation of lean manufacturing principles in key areas of the industrial complex of Russia and the CIS countries. The partner of the CASE-IN championship, MISIS University of Science and Technology, served as the venue for the final.

As noted in the press release of the organizers of the project, the most popular league of the championship remains the Student League: this year it was attended by 5.8 thousand students from more than 70 universities in Russia, as well as students from Kazakhstan and Belarus. 110 student teams reached the final. On May 28-30, for three days, the finalist teams presented their solutions to the expert community, participated in educational events, exchanged experiences and received expert recommendations. As a result, 30 teams in 10 industry areas became champions and prize-winners.: These are architecture, design, construction and housing and communal services; geological exploration; mining; mining machinery and equipment; metallurgy; oil and gas; petrochemistry; design engineering; thermal power engineering; electric power industry.

The rector of NNGASU Dmitry Shchegolev commented: "This year, three student teams of NNGASU passed a competitive selection for participation in various nominations of the final stage of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship. I believe that successful selection and participation in this prestigious international event is already a great achievement. And, of course, the prize in such a complex and interesting field as Architecture, Design, Construction and Housing and Communal Services is very significant for the university: the recognition of the jury was another confirmation of the highest level of training of young specialists at NNGASU.".

Other university teams also fought well for the victory. Thus, students from leading Russian energy universities, including the National Research University "MEI", the Obninsk Institute of Atomic Energy, a branch of the National Research Nuclear University "MEPhI", and the St. Petersburg Mining University of Empress Catherine II, took part in the field of "Thermal Power Engineering". NGASU became the only civil engineering university to reach the finals. The NGASU team in this area includes: Valeria Chernyshova, Elena Kochetkova, Evgenia Izmailova, Yuri Sukhanin.

In the field of "Project Engineering", NGASU was represented by students: Eduard Kholod, Daria Dominnik, Ksenia Golubeva. The guys became the winners in the nomination "The most creative video game".

Such a high result of participation in international competitions would not have been possible without mentors who prepared the children for the championship: Associate Professor of the Department of Heat and Gas Supply Alexey Vladimirovich Gordeev, assistant of the Department of Engineering Graphics and Information Modeling Maxim Vladimirovich Bezsolnov and Associate Professor of the Department of Architecture Anastasia Vladimirovna Shchegoleva.

The winners of the championship received valuable gifts and cash prizes.   The winners of the Student League, as noted by the organizers of the project, the Reliable Shift Foundation, the Non–profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders and AstraLogica LLC, will also be able to enroll in master's and postgraduate studies at 30 partner universities on preferential terms, complete paid internships in leading companies with the possibility of subsequent employment.
