Technological innovations from KNRTU students

On March 5, KNRTU hosted the qualifying stage of the CASE-IN championship, a large–scale educational project in solving engineering cases.

Over the 12 years of its existence, CASE-IN has transformed from a competition for mining students into an entire ecosystem: 100 schools and universities, 170 industry companies, 1,000 mentors and curators. It has become a platform for career guidance and youth development, a starting point in building a career trajectory. The theme of the new season is "Technological innovations". This year's organizers were the Reliable Change Foundation, the Youth Forum of Mining Leaders, the Astrologika company and the Russia – Land of Opportunities platform.

In the lobby in front of the round hall in Building A, the guests were greeted by volunteers from partner companies who talked about internship programs and current vacancies, as well as gave gifts. For example, Sibur invited those present to participate in the plastic recycling process using a bicycle shredder.: so the bright branded key rings became a small reminder of the event for the guests.

The grand opening of the championship began with welcoming remarks by the Vice Rector for Academic Affairs Dilbar Sultanova. "I am very glad that KNRTU has become a venue for such a large-scale event. According to the results of last year, we became the best university in two nominations "Petrochemistry" and "Industrial Engineering". The CASE-IN is really inspiring: the number of participants from the university is growing every year, this year there are already 65 of them. I wish you success and victories!", Dilbar Shamilevna greeted the audience.

Representatives of partner companies also addressed the guests in the hall: Deputy Director for Science of Tatneft Oleg Ten, chief expert of Kazanorgsintez in the field of technological modeling Ilham Shaimukhametov, ambassadors of the personnel policy of Sibur Elena Lanskaya and Karina Rakhmatullina.

A serious battle unfolded at three university sites – the protection of student projects in three areas: "Project Engineering", "Biotechnology" and "Petrochemistry". Each team had up to 10 days to solve the cases presented by the partner companies, and the presentation lasted no more than 6 minutes. Next, the participants answered the experts' questions. To summarize the results of the championship, they used a special software – a CASE-IN simulator, in whose personal account it was possible to immediately evaluate the performance of the team.

The winners of the qualifying round and representing KNRTU in the next stage will be:
- Ksenia Antonova, Margarita Burmasova, Alua Arinova in the direction of "Biotechnology";
- Pavel Radomsky, Alina Radomskaya, Anna Radomskaya and Ilya Radomsky in the field of "Project engineering";
- Shamil Gataullin, Aliya Zakirova, Dinara Zamaletdinova, Anvar Feyzrakhmanov in the direction of "Petrochemistry".
