OmSTU will host the "CASE-IN" Electric Power League competitions

The VI International Engineering CASE-IN Championship will be held from February to May. It is the largest practice-oriented competition in Russia and neighboring countries for solving engineering cases and practical tasks.

The International Engineering CASE-IN Championship is a competition for the most promising students of leading technical universities in solving engineering cases in six areas: mining, geological exploration, electric power, metallurgy, oil and gas and petrochemistry. About 4,000 students from more than 45 industry universities in Russia and the CIS countries, about a thousand experts from leading industry companies and organizations, scientific and educational institutions, federal and regional authorities will participate in 2018.

The qualifying stages are held at the sites of major regional universities. Thus, the competitions of one of the leagues of the electric power industry championship will be held on the basis of Omsk State Technical University, which is the main one in the Omsk region. According to the official website of the championship, the competition is scheduled for the end of April, but it is necessary to register now. The finalists will travel to Moscow, where they will compete for victory in their respective fields for two days.

The participants of the championship will have to solve specific engineering cases and practical tasks. For example, last year, at the qualifying stage in the Electric Power Industry, participants had to analyze Bystrinsky GOK's electric energy needs and develop internal power supply schemes for the enterprise before it was connected to the UES.

The CASE-IN International Engineering Championship is held in accordance with the action plan aimed at popularizing the working and engineering professions, approved by the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the championship is to identify and support promising students of specialized universities, promote their acquisition of practical knowledge, experience and new competencies, popularize engineering and technical education and attract young specialists to the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes of Russia. Students participating in the championship gain new professional knowledge about the work of the largest enterprises and new personal competencies.

Currently, one of the long-term objectives of the state policy in the field of vocational education is to improve the system of personnel training for work in Arctic conditions, therefore, the theme of this year's championship will be devoted to the development of the Arctic. One of the goals of the international engineering championship is to involve the intellectual potential of future engineers of the fuel and energy and mineral resources complexes of Russia in solving real practical problems facing the country.
