TPU students will be able to prepare for the qualifying stages of the CASE-IN at master classes

Tomsk Polytechnic University will host the qualifying stages in three areas of the Student League of the XIII season of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship. To prepare for them, Tomsk Polytechnic University will host open master classes.

The qualifying stages for "Electric Power Industry", "Geological Exploration" and "Thermal Power Engineering" will start at TPU on March 12 at 10.00. To participate, you must complete registration.

"Since assignments change every year and the rules are updated, conducting master classes helps participants navigate not only technical issues, but also others that are also evaluated by an expert panel," says I.N. Butakova, the organizer of the CASE-IN at TPU, a senior lecturer at the Scientific and Educational Center. Elena Vorontsova.

So, on March 3-4, at 18.00, a master class "Economics of Engineering Solutions" will be held by Svetlana Popova, Acting Head of the Department of Economics and Production Management at the TPU Business School. It will focus on issues related to the economic part of solving this year's cases.

On March 5, at 4:30 p.m., Vladislav Grechushnikov, senior lecturer at the Department of Electric Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering at the TPU School of Energy Engineering, member of the CASE-IN Championship Hall of Fame, will talk about how to prepare his speech. He will share the secrets of the specifics of preparing presentations and speeches, taking into account the rules of the event. The participants will also talk about technology for solving engineering cases.

All master classes will be held in an online format. 

This year's cases are devoted to the single theme "Technological innovations". The partner of the Geological Exploration direction is ALROSA JSC (PAO).

Using the Degdekan deposit as an example, the participants were invited to study the geochemical features and analyze the profitability of developing gold deposits using innovative methods. Among other things, they will have to analyze and interpret the results of areal geochemical work and satellite image data, identify the most promising areas and draft exploration works for their certification using innovative technologies in all production processes.

The case for Teploenergetika was developed by Gazprom Energoholding LLC. Students will need to propose and justify ways to provide a consumer with a maximum heat load of 1.0 Gcal/h, located at a considerable distance from a centralized heat supply source, as well as analyze various options for heat supply to the consumer, evaluate the possibility and feasibility of using non-gas heat sources and thermal energy accumulators.

JSC "System Operator of the Unified Energy System" has prepared a task for the Electric Power Industry direction. The case study is devoted to the application of technological innovations for the development of the electric power industry of the UES of Russia. Participants were asked to identify the country's power and electricity needs, growth points in terms of power and electricity consumption, and then propose technological solutions for the implementation of projects for the new construction of power grid facilities to cover power and electricity balances and taking into account modern energy technologies.

The winners in student areas will receive preferential conditions for admission to master's and postgraduate programs at 30 partner universities of the championship and paid internships in companies with the possibility of further employment.
