An unconventional approach is the key to success: the qualifying stage of the engineering CASE-IN championship at SVSU

6 teams of the St. Petersburg State University Polytechnic Institute presented their projects. They use an atypical approach, modern methods, and ambitious plans. All within the framework of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship.

There was a 10-day hard work before the defense. The students prepared materials, analyzed, compared data, and developed their own project. The assignment itself is formulated on 20 sheets and includes mandatory additional conditions. Each of the tasks is related to the Pipe Udachnaya diamond deposit in Yakutia. An expert jury, including teachers from St. Petersburg State University and representatives of the mining industry, oversees how the participants present the information and how deeply they reveal the topic. The best teams will advance to the semifinals, and from there, if successful, to Moscow. The final of the engineering competition is planned there.

Maxim Kuzmenkov, senior lecturer at the Department of Digital Engineering at St. Petersburg State University, curator of the CASE-IN selection stage: "Students need to solve a fairly common problem: when mining deposits, rock freezes appear. We need to eliminate them. Today we will find out what methods. And the main task is the introduction of modern technologies: drones, virtual twins. Modern technologies that have not been widely used in mining lately."
