The MGSU National Research University team will present a project for the development of the Krasnoyarsk Territory in the final of the CASE-IN champio

About 320 teams of students from universities in Russia and CIS countries took part in the qualifying stage of the Student League of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship. The goal of the championship is to solve and defend a case in several stages, that is, a real production task from one of the largest and most advanced companies in Russia, Sibur Holding. At the semi-final stage, 48 teams were divided into three streams of defenses.

The task of the case was devoted to the "New frontiers of the digital industry and energy of the Krasnoyarsk Territory" and required an analysis of the energy potential of the region, identify the directions of digital energy transformation, predict and form the personnel needs of the region during the transition to "digital energy", proposed as a solution.

Having received an additional task for analyzing and finalizing the main solution, the strongest 15 teams and the team representing MGSU advanced to the finals. An exclusively female team with an unusual name "Pre-tense" at the end of the semi-final defense occupied 2nd place among 15 teams of its stream and passed to the final, which will be held on December 19 at the site of the National Research University "MEI".

The development of the NRU MGSU team included a comprehensive assessment of the energy cluster of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and neighboring regions, the staffing needs and potential of the industry, and the opportunities for introducing new technologies. The project is focused on the use of renewable energy sources in the undeveloped territories of the region, as well as on the gradual modernization of outdated, environmentally unfavorable industries using actively developing SMART systems for monitoring, controlling and managing the distribution of energy resources. 

As a separate unit, the participants worked out the optimization and digitalization of construction processes in the implementation of key technologies of their solution, which became a unique element among the options of other teams. This approach reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the CASE-IN championship, which evaluates not only technical calculations, but also managerial, infrastructural and environmental aspects.

The girls themselves celebrate: "Since we are studying for a master's degree in the field of "Control and supervisory activities in the construction of buildings and structures," many technologies and the rationality of their application were considered as part of our training sessions. We would like to express our special gratitude to our Department of Testing of Structures for a detailed analysis of current, actively developing digital technologies in the construction industry, since our decision regarding the organization of construction processes was fundamentally based and thought out, largely based on the educational base."

The "Pre-tense" team included female master's students from the National Research University MGSU, IPGSM groups 2-40:

• Anna Petrenko (Captain);
• Victoria Raskova;
• Olga Grechishkina;
• Angelina Chekalova is a fourth-year undergraduate student at YSTU.

The National Research University MGSU team worked under the guidance of Anton Petrov, a mentor and senior lecturer at the Department of Construction of Buildings and Structures at Yaroslavl State Technical University (YSTU). 

The success of the team was a clear indication of the high level of interqualification training of MGSU students and confirmed the importance of their contribution to future projects for the development of domestic digitalization in the construction sector.
