UMMC Technical University students won the final of the CASE-IN championship

A team of UMMC Technical University students took first place in the final of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship. The Mining of Useful Knowledge team (5th year) represented the university in the field of Mining and won, beating the other nine teams that reached the finals, which took place in Moscow.

Last year, the team stopped a step away from winning prizes, but this time the guys rose to the highest step of the podium.

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

The participants of the Mining Student League, united in teams of 3-4 people, solve engineering problems based on real production problems provided by industry enterprises. The decisions are evaluated by an expert commission, which includes representatives of government authorities, leading companies, educational institutions and research centers.

The Mining of Useful Knowledge team offered innovative solutions to reduce costs and improve the processes of strengthening mining operations at the underground mine.:

1. The transition to the use of emulsion explosives and the construction of an underground storage facility for non-explosive components.
2. Improving the process of fixing mining workings by improving the composition of dry concrete mixes and creating a concrete plant.
3. The transition from using local ventilation fans to jet fans for mining operations under construction.

More than 10,000 students from 65 specialized educational institutions in Russia and the CIS countries took part in the competition.

The team of the UMMC Technical University:

• Daniil Korablev
• Ilgar Huseynov
• Natalia Geveiler
• Ildar Usmanov

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