AmSU students will present their technological innovations to industry companies

On March 6, Amur State University will host the qualifying stage of the Student League of the XIII International Engineering CASE-IN Championship with the support of the presidential platform "Russia – the Land of Opportunities". Students will present engineering cases in the field of electric power, geological exploration and petrochemistry.

There are 11 areas in the season of "Technological Innovations", and leading industry companies are writing cases for solutions, including ALROSA, SIBUR, NPO TN-Biotech, YATEK, System Operator, Rosseti, Gazprom Energoholding and others. 

Students of Amur State University will take part in the fields of "Geological Exploration", "Petrochemistry", "Electric Power Industry of the SO UES", "Electric Power Industry of Rosseti".

"This is the 5th time I have participated in the CASE-IN, there are simply no analogues to this Championship. Participating in the CASE-IN taught me how to work in a team, think outside the box and try to come up with a decent solution. We have about 10 days to find the best solution, during which our team processes a lot of information, develops a technological solution, creates a presentation and calculates the economics. We have 5 minutes to defend our decision. We present and justify our decision to the jury members and answer their questions," Anastasia Sergeeva, a participant from AmSU in the field of Petrochemistry, shared her experience. 

This year, teams in the field of Petrochemistry will have to solve a case on the topic "Development of technological solutions to reduce isobutylene losses", "Electric Power Industry" - "Application of technological innovations for the development of the electric power industry of the UES of Russia", team members in the field of Geological Exploration will solve the case "Geology, geochemical features and assessment of profitability of development gold ore deposits using innovative methods of exploration (using the example of the Degdekan deposit)". 

The final of the CASE-IN championship will be held in Moscow at the end of May 2025. Young and future engineers will present the final versions of their solutions to the industry community, share their experiences with colleagues, receive valuable advice from experts and will be able to establish professional contacts for further implementation of their ideas.
The champions and prize–winners of the Student League will enroll in master's and postgraduate studies at partner universities on preferential terms, as well as complete internships and internships in partner companies with the possibility of further employment. 

Reference. Petrochemistry teams represented the university three times in the finals of the championship, taking 4-6 places among the participants in the Russian Federation. Team mentors: Julia Alexandrovna Guzhel, Svetlana Anatolyevna Leskova. 
Yulia Alexandrovna Guzhel was recognized as a member of the Hall of Fame in the "Organizer" category in 2021.

In 2019, the university team was awarded a diploma in the special nomination "Top 6 best Engineering Case Solutions". 

In 2019, 2023, and 2024, the university became a laureate of the Energy of Education competition, held as part of the CASE-IN. 

In 2022, students of the Faculty of Energy participated in the final of the CASE-IN championship in Moscow. Mentor Khondoshko Yulia Vladimirovna. 

In 2022 and 2024, teams in the field of Geological Exploration reached the finals of the championship. Mentors are Dmitry V. Yusupov and Svetlana Mikhailovna Avramenko.
